Laparoscopic total pancreatectomy for multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 syndrome-associated multifocal, non-functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor: A case report.

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors are rare, accounting for less than 3% of all pancreatic tumors. Although laparoscopic pancreas-preserving surgery for managing sporadic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors has been described in the literature, laparoscopic total pancreatectomy has rarely been reported. We present a 30-year-old man who was incidentally diagnosed with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 syndrome with parathyroid hyperplasia and a non-functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. He underwent laparoscopic total pancreatectomy with splenectomy. This report highlights the technical details of laparoscopic total pancreatectomy, which appears to be a feasible and safe option in select cases.
