Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A case of duodenal somatostatinoma is reported. The patient, a 54-year-old male, had complained of an epigastric pain due to gastric ulcer and a duodenal polyp was unexpectedly found at a gastrectomy. The polyp showed basically tubular adenocarcinoma, with negative argyrophil and argentaffin reactions. By an indirect immunofluorescent examination almost all of the tumor cells were revealed as somatostatin-immunoreactive. Big somatostatin was also positive. Radioimmunoassay of the tumor indicated 6400 pg of somatostatin-like immunoreactivity per milligram of wet tissue. This seems to be the second case of duodenal somatostatinoma, following the case reported by us previously.
