Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Pancreatic polypeptidioma is an extremely rare pancreatic endocrine tumor.
  • Limited data exists on its clinical features and therapeutic responses.

Observation:

  • A 33-year-old woman presented with disseminated pancreatic polypeptidioma.
  • She exhibited metastases including bone pain, cranial nerve palsy, spinal block, and hematuria.

Findings:

  • The patient died 22 months after presentation.
  • Various treatments were administered, including hepatic arterial embolization, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, interferon-alpha, and somatostatin analogue.
  • Bone metastases showed a notable and prompt response to radiotherapy.

Implications:
