A case of primary intrahepatic gastrinoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gastrinoma is an uncommon but important cause of peptic ulcer disease. These tumors are most commonly located in the duodenum or pancreas. We present a case of a primary intrahepatic gastrinoma. Only 20 such cases have been previously reported in the literature. Metastatic hepatic gastrinomas are much more common, but it is important to differentiate between a primary and metastatic lesion because of the worse prognosis associated with a metastatic lesion.
