Somatostatinoma is a rare type of tumor that originates from the somatostatin-producing neuroendocrine cells. These tumors are most commonly found in the pancreas and duodenum.
Symptoms[edit]
The symptoms of somatostatinoma are often nonspecific and can vary depending on the location of the tumor. Common symptoms include diabetes mellitus, gallstones, steatorrhea, and weight loss.
Diagnosis[edit]
The diagnosis of somatostatinoma is typically made through a combination of medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests. Imaging studies such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may also be used to locate the tumor.
Treatment[edit]
The primary treatment for somatostatinoma is surgical removal of the tumor. In some cases, chemotherapy or radiation therapy may also be used.
Prognosis[edit]
The prognosis for individuals with somatostatinoma varies depending on the size and location of the tumor, as well as the individual's overall health.
