Abstract
Six arteriograms were performed in five patients with insulinoma. The method showed with precision the size and location of the tumor in five instances, whereas in one instance the method was unsuccessful. Arteriography was performed again with more refinements in technic, but was adequate in locating only the largest tumor. Since diagnostic accuracy of arteriography depends on the size of the tumor, and nonpalpable tumors are only occasionally located, the main problems in surgical treatment of insulinomas are unresolved.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
