Ectopic insulinoma: a systematic review

In conclusion, ectopic insulinomas are presented as hypoglycaemia with female preponderance. Functional imaging [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-exedin-4 PET/CT and 68Ga-labelled-DOTA-conjugated somatostatin analogue PET/TC have very high sensitivity. Clinicians should be alert to the possibility of extra-pancreatic insulinomas when classic diagnostic tests and intraoperative pancreas exploration failed to locate the tumour.PMID:37434098 | DOI:10.1007/s11154-023-09824-2
