Abstract:
We report here case of a 57-year-old woman presenting with a metastatic vipoma revealed by secretory diarrhea and severe ionic disorders successfully treated by somatostatin administration. The primitive tumour, located in the jejunum, was identified peroperatively. Both the primitive lesion and the liver metastases were resected at the same time. Early tumour relapse occurred and was unsuccessfully treated by systemic chemotherapy (5-fluorouracil, streptozotocin and doxorubin) and chemoembolization. Finally, a liver transplantation was proposed.

Small Intestine
The small intestine is divided into three main sections - the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The duodenum, approximately 25 cm long, is nearest the stomach. It acts as a 'mixing bowl,' where chyme (partially digested food) blends with digestive enzymes from the pancreas and liver. The duodenum's unique C-shape wraps...
Intestinal Phase of Digestion
The arrival of the chyme in the small intestine distends the duodenum, which triggers the enterogastric reflex. This distension...

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and solid...
