Primary liver gastrinoma

Gastrinomas are generally localized in pancreas, duodenum and lymphonodes, within the so called "gastrinoma's triangle" . In 5% of the cases, it may arise from liver, stomach, ovarium, kidneys, parathyroid, omentum, jejunum and heart. We describe a case of a fifteen-year-old boy with a primary gastrinoma of the liver, treated by right-hepatectomy.
