Abstract

Background : The peri-pancreatic sporadic gastrinoma represents a paradigm of digestive endocrinology. It was originally an abnormal secretion of gastrin fits the syndrome Zollinger-Ellison.
Aim: The objective of our work is to clarify the diagnostic strategy and therapeutic conduct of gastrinoma.
Case : We report the case of a patient aged 42 years, hospitalized for bleeding duodenal ulcer, revealed a Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. The different explorations have shown that it was a primitive péripancréatique sporadic gastrinoma. In surgery, we discover a rétropancréatique tumor associated to a stenosis post-bulbar ulcer. It was conducted a enucleation of the tumor with vagotomie troncular and gastroenteroanastomosis. The forecast was favourable with normalization of the values of gastrinémie.
Conclusion : The sporadic gastrinoma is rare, its emphasis is increasingly being facilitated by the technology of modern medical imaging, belonging to a polyendocrinopathie must be systematic search. Treatment of pancreatic gastrinoma is multidisciplinary. Surgery is the only cure for this disease.
