ABSTRACT Insulinomas are rare neoplasms of the endocrine pancreas. Minimally invasive treatment options for insulinomas have gained prominence, replacing surgical resection due to its associated morbidity and mortality. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has emerged as a relevant treatment option. We present a case of a female patient with neuroglycopenic symptoms and severe hypoglycemic crises. The abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a small nodular lesion in the pancreatic body. Laparotomy was performed, followed by RFA using a 15-mm active-tipped needle. No complications transpired, and no hypoglycemic episodes were observed during 12 months of follow-up. |
