Abstract
|
|
|
The nonfunctioning islet cell tumors of pancreas are not associated with obviout sign and symptoms of hormone overproduction. Symptoms, most commonly pain and jaundice, are due´ to the ´mass effect of the tumor and invasion of the surrounding structures, and unlike functioning tumors, the location of the tumor has a direct bearing on the patient´s symptoms.
We have experienced a case of benign nonfunctioning islet cell tumor of the pancreas in 47year-old female. She was admitted to our hospital due to palpable large mass of her abdomen. She had no obvious ´sign and symptoms of hormone overproduction. The exploratory laparatomy was done under the impres~ion of retroperitoneal tumor with the information of radioIogic finding and abdominal CT scan. The pathologic diagnosis was benign nonfunctioning is-let cell tumor of the pancreas.
