Introduction Introduction. Neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas are rare
neoplasms. They are divided into two groups: functional and non-functional.
Non-functional tumors represent a diagnostic challenge, given that they
often remain asymptomatic and are diagnosed as an incidental finding. Case
outline. We present a patient in whom the tumor was discovered at the
junction of the body and the tail of the pancreas on the dorsal side. The
patient had no specific symptomatology, with no loss in body weight.
Considering the conducted diagnostics and the condition of the patient, we
decided to perform a laparoscopic enucleation. This procedure has been
applied in a safe and efficient manner, so the operative and postoperative
course passed without complications. The definitive histopathological
examination confirmed the finding that it was a non-functional pancreatic
neuroendocrine tumor. Conclusion. Laparoscopic enucleation is an effective
and safe treatment modality of these tumors with well-known advantages
compared to open surgery, but there is always a tending to improve already
existing results and thus to contribute not only to treatment but to greater
and better comfort of the patient
