The plasma insulin concentration is >10 micro U/ml in patients with the disorder. Tumour localisation USS (25% accuracy), endoscopic USS better (75% accuracy) CT scanning (pancreatic protocol=40% accuracy) Malignant insulinomas are larger and diagnostic accuracy with MRI is nearly 100% in such cases Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (50% accuracy) Treatment Since the majority of tumours are benign; the blind segmental resection of the pancreas (e.g. Whipples) cannot be justified, this may be considered acceptable for malignant lesions. The best approach at laparotomy is to corroborate pre operative imaging with intraoperative ultrasonography to identify the lesion. Tumours may be close of the pancreatic duct and this must be appreciated by the operating surgeon. The perioperative use of octreotide reduces the amount of pancreatic drainage, but not overall complications. Question: 1.1 A 45 year old man with recurrent episodes of confusion is found to have a 1.5cm insulinoma of the pancreatic head. S sweating,confusion,nausea,fits More accurate : MRI Early diagnosis by CT scan Mainly Benign

Total pancreatectomy and en bloc splenectomy C. Pylorus preserving pancreatico duodenectomy D. Enucleation of the lesion E. External beam radiotherapy Correct Answer: E- Enucleation of the lesion Explanation: Most insulinomas are benign and radical resection is therefore not justified.
