    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.
