Abstract

Most resectable pancreatic or peripancreatic neuroendocrine tumors are treated by enucleation or distal pancreatectomy. A minority of tumors may require pancreaticoduodenectomy for complete tumor excision because of their large size, location, or lymph node involvement. This study reviews the management of 50 patients treated by pancreaticoduodenectomy for periampullary neuroendocrine tumors between 1962 and 1996 at a single institution. There were 30 men and 20 women with a mean age of 52 +/- 2 years. Functional tumors were resected in 17 patients: insulinoma, seven tumors; gastrinoma, eight tumors; vipoma, one tumor; and glucagonoma, one tumor. Tumors were classified as malignant in 29 patients and benign in 21. The median intraoperative blood loss was 800 ml, and the median number of units of blood transfused was zero. The postoperative length of stay was 20 +/- 2 days. Postoperative morbidity included 11 patients (24%) with a pancreatic fistula and four patients (8%) with a biliary fistula. There was one in-hospital death (2%), in 1967. The actuarial survival rates at 2, 5, and 7 years are 81%, 73%, and 65%, respectively. Patients with benign tumors had a significantly improved 5-year survival rate (94%) compared with those...Continue Reading
