Abstract
Islet cell carcinoma is rare. Even in advanced metastasizing tumors, relatively long survival times were reported. Aim of surgical treatment is complete removal of the tumor mass, if possible. When not, palliative procedures were described to be efficient in some of the cases. In the literature, among the first patients with regional metastasizing intraabdominal malignancies and upper abdominal exenteration, some cases with neuroendocrine tumors were reported. Aim of the following study is to describe the results in 4 patients with metastasizing islet cell carcinomas, which were treated by multi-visceral upper abdominal exenteration and combined orthotopic liver transplantation.
