Q

which PNETs should have cholecystectomy?

A

glucagonoma and VIPoma to avoid gallstones with prolonged octreotide use. Also use for somatostatinoma for mets use

Q

what are the tests for gastrinomas?

A

fasting gastrin >1000 is diagnostic, secretin test (positive will have decreased gastrin, normal will have increased gastrin)

Q

what is the best imaging for gastrinomas?

A

somatostatin scintigraphy (get second if not found on CT or MRI)

22
Q

what is the first imaging for PNETs?

A

CT triple phase or MRI

23
Q

what is the treatment for gastrinomas?

A

enucleation (<2 cm), formal resection with lymph nodes (>2 cm)

24
Q

what is the treatment for metastatic gastrinomas?

A

50% of pts. focus on symptom control

25
Q

what are the symptoms of glucagonoma?

A

4D’s: diabetes, dermatitis (necrolytic migratory erythema), depression, DVT, weight loss

26
Q

mostly malignant PNET

A

glucagonoma, 90% (distal pancreas)

27
Q

treatment for glucagonoma

A

formal resection w/regional lymph node dissection for all (high malignancy rate) + cholecystectomy

28
Q

what can you give to help the rash with glucagonomas?

A

zinc, amino acids, fatty acids

29
Q

what are the symptoms with VIPoma

A

watery diarrhea, hypokalemia, achlorhydria (WDHA)

30

are VIPomas mostly benign or malignant?

A

malignant

31
Q

where are VIPomas found usually

distal pancreas

32
Q

what is the treatment for VIPomas

A

formal resection with lymph node dissection + cholecystectomy

33
Q

What are the symptoms of somatostatinoma?

A

diabetes, gallstones, steatorrhea

34
Q

how do you dx somatostatinoma?

A

fasting somatostatin level

35

are somatostatinomas mostly benign or malignant?

A

malignant

36
Q

what is the treatment for somatostatinomas?

A

formal resection with lymph node dissection + cholecystectomy

37
Q

glucagon is made where

pancreatic polypeptide is made where

A

PP or F cells

41
Q

VIP and serotonin are made where

A

islet cells

42
Q

what does enterokinase do

A

released by duodenum and activates trypsinogen to trypsin

43
Q

what does trypsin do

A

activates other pancreatic enzymes including trypsinogen

44
Q

what does secretin do

A

increase HCO3 mostly

45
Q

what does CCK do?

A

increase pancreatic enzymes

46
Q

what does acetylcholine do

A

increase HCO3 and enzymes

47
Q

what does somatostatin and glucagon do

A

decrease exocrine function

48
Q

where does CCK and secretin come from

A

most released by cells in duodenum

49
Q

what is the affect of CCK and glucagon on the sphincter of Oddi?

A

relaxes the sphincter

50
Q

what are the exocrine enzymes of the pancreas?

A

amylase, lipase, trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, carboxypeptidase, HCO3

51
Q

what is the only pancreatic enzyme that is released in its active form?
