Abstract

Multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndrome type I is a rare genetic syndrome characterized by the growth of endocrine tumors in different organs, mostly endocrine glands. Zollinger-Ellison and organic hyperinsulinism can be a part of this syndrome but it is very rare when they can be observed together in one patient. Clinical case of MEN I was described. Symptoms, presented by hypoglycemia and multiple ulcers, occurred in a 42-year-old woman. She suffered for 9 years, the diagnosis was multiple neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas and duodenum, organic hyperinsulinism, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Robotic total duodenumpancreatectomy, splenectomy, distal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy was performed. Postoperative recovery was uneventful; patient was discharged after less than 2 weeks. Long-term survival showed no recurrence of the disease. In reviewed literature, we found no other cases of synchronous hypoglycemic and Zollinger-Ellison syndromes managed by total robotic duodenumpancreatectomy. Robotic technology can become a feasible and preferable method of treatment even in such difficult cases.
