Study Notes
Gastrinoma
- A neuroendocrine tumor that secretes gastrin.
- 80% are sporadic (single, large tumor)
- Sporadic gastrinomas typically occur in people aged 30-50
- Sporadic gastrinomas have a high malignancy risk with 60% metastasizing to the liver.
- 20% are associated with MEN-1 (multiple, small tumors)
- Gastrinomas associated with MEN-1 are most common in the duodenum
- Gastrinomas associated with MEN-1 have a lower malignancy risk (mostly benign)
- Individuals with MEN-1 typically develop gastrinomas at an earlier age, usually before 50.
- Gastrinomas commonly affect the ‘Gastrinoma Triangle’, a region where the cystic duct joins the common bile duct, the second and third part of the duodenum meet, and the body and neck of the pancreas are situated.
- Majority of cases are treated surgically
- Prognosis is good for cases associated with MEN-1
- High dose PPIs are often used to control acid levels in cases associated with MEN-1
- Gastrinomas have a poor prognosis if > 2.5 cm
Effects of Increased Gastrin
- Increased gastrin stimulates parietal cells
- Increased HCl secretion
- Damage to the mucosal lining of the GI tract
- Gastric and duodenal ulcers
- Acid inactivates pancreatic enzymes
- Diarrhea, steatorrhea and malabsorption may occur
Note
- Insulinoma is the most common functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor
- Entero pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (Gastrinoma) is the most common cause of death in MEN-1.
- Neuroendocrine markers for identifying gastrinoma are chromogranin and NSE
- Clinical manifestation for gastrinoma includes Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
Gastrinoma Triangle
- This is the area where most cases are located and can be identified by:
- The junction of the cystic duct and CBD
- The junction of the second and third portion of the duodenum
- The junction of the body and neck of the pancreas
- The triangle is formed by the junction of cystic duct and CBD, junction of second and third portion of duodenum, junction of body and neck of pancreas.
Additional information
- Gastrinoma is a neuroendocrine tumor that secretes gastrin.
- The clinical manifestation of gastrinoma is Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
- Neuroendocrine markers such as chromogranin and NSE can be utilized to identify gastrinoma.
