Surgery for patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1(MEN-1) related gastrinoma remains controversial and total pancreatectomy (TP) has rarely been performed. We reported a case of patient with MEN-1 related gastrinoma treated by TP.A 46-year-old female was admitted to our hospital due to abdominal distension and diarrhea for 2 years. The patient underwent pituitary tumor resection and kidney stone lithotripsy 10 years ago.Abdominal computed tomography showed single lesion in the duodenum and multiple lesions throughout the pancreas. The patient's gastrin level was significantly increased (1080 pg/ml). These findings in combination with the pituitary tumor history suggested the presence of gastrinoma associated with MEN-1 syndrome.An exploratory laparotomy was performed. Intraoperative ultrasound confirmed the numerous tumors diffusely distributed throughout the pancreas and the patient eventually underwent TP.Twelve months later, the patient was hospitalized again for anastomotic fistula and underwent a partial gastrectomy, small bowel resection and drainage of the abscess. One month later, she received gastrostomy and jejunostomy due to digestive tract fistula, and died a month later (14 months after TP).There still might be the possibility of recurrence even after radical surgical resection of gastrinomas, and we suggest the need to measure the basal acid output and maintain regular anti-acid therapy in the long-term follow-up of patients with MEN-1 related gastrinoma.
