Objective:
To summarize our experience in the diagnosis and treatment of malignant pancreatic endocrine tumour.
Methods:
We retrospectively reviewed 36 cases of malignant pancreatic endocrine tumours in our hospital from July 1987 to April 2002, and summarized its clinical features.
Results:
Liver metastasis was the main malignant manifestation of malignant pancreatic endocrine tumours (incidence rate 72.2%). Removals of primary lesion and isolated hepatic metastatic lesion were means of curative therapy. Interventional chemotherapy was an important adjuvant treatment.
Conclusion:
Comprehensive therapy plays an important role in improving the prognosis of malignant pancreatic endocrine tumour.
