Abstract
Gastrinoma belongs to the group of neuroendocrine tumors (NET), which are characterised by secretion of hormonally active substances. The clinical finding is determined especially by the biological effect of the substance and is relatively characteristic.
Nevertheless, the diagnostics is often very difficult and it takes months to years to specify the correct diagnosis. The article describes a case report of a patient with this tumor with an emphasis on important moments during diagnostic determination and possible pitfalls arising from conventional therapeutic procedures.
