✓ Somatostatinomas are rare endocrine tumors that are located primarily in the pancreas. Metastases are seen most frequently in the liver and lymph nodes. The authors present the case of a 63-year-old man who had a malignant somatostatinoma of pancreatic tail origin that metastasized to the brain 10 years after diagnosis of the primary tumor. The metastatic brain lesions were totally removed and the patient is alive without tumor recurrence 12.3 years after the initial diagnosis. To our knowledge, this case represents the first documentation of brain metastasis from a malignant somatostatinoma, as well as the longest survival time of a patient with a somatostatinoma.
