Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are one subgroup of gastroenteropancreatic NETs. Its main characteristics are slow growth, frequent metastasis to the liver, and limited to the liver for long periods. In patients with irresectable liver metastatic NET, liver transplantation is the only radical treatment. About 160 cases of liver transplantation for liver metastatic NET have been reported worldwide. However, there is no such report of liver transplantation for hepatic metastatic NET in China by now. We herein report a case of liver transplantation for hepatic metastatic pancreatic insulinoma with a survival of over 5 years.
胰腺神经内分泌肿瘤（NETs）是胃肠胰神经内分泌肿瘤（NETs）的一个亚组。其主要特点是生长缓慢，常向肝脏转移，并在很长一段时间内局限于肝脏。对于无法切除的肝转移性 NET 患者，肝移植是唯一的根治性治疗方法。全世界已有约 160 例肝移植治疗肝转移性 NET 的报道，但目前尚无中国肝移植治疗肝转移性 NET 的报道。我们在此报告一例肝移植治疗肝转移性胰腺胰岛素瘤的病例，患者的生存时间超过 5 年。
