BACKGROUND: Ectopic insulinoma is a rare entity that is difficult to diagnose before surgery. This article reports two cases of ectopic insulinoma.
CASE PRESENTATION: Two patients manifested recurrent hypoglycemia with a typical Whipple triad. In terms of the qualitative diagnosis, the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) suggested a diagnosis of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. However, preoperative imaging did not show a significant mass in the pancreas. In one patient, preoperative abdominal enhanced volume perfusion computed tomography (CT), somatostatin receptor imaging and 99mTc-HYNIC-TOC SPECT/CT revealed a mass with a rich blood supply anterior to the duodenum. In the other patient, preoperative enhanced CT, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 68Ga-Exendin-4 PET/CT showed a mass above the spleen. After surgical removal of the tumor, both patients received a confirmed diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors by postoperative pathology. The symptoms of hypoglycemia were relieved after surgery, and the blood glucose level was significantly increased.
CONCLUSION: Ectopic insulinoma is difficult to locate before surgery. 68Ga-Exendin-4 PET/CT has a high diagnostic value. Surgical removal of the lesion is main treatment.
