Abstract：Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor is one of the com-mon tumors in pancreatic surgery. According to the endocrinic disorder caused by the hormone secretion,it is divided into functional and non-functional tumors,such as insulinoma,gas-trinoma,non-functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. The ratio of benign to malignancy varies with the forms of tu-mors. Hepatic metastasis happens in partial tumors. Surgical management is the most important treatment method,which can cure partial patients. The surgical management method var-ies with different tumor forms. The specific surgery depends on the tumor form,size,position,the scope of tumor invasion,etc. which includes tumor enucleation,pancreatoduodenectomy, distal pancreatectomy,pancreaticsegmental resection,duode-num-preserving resection of pancreatic head and so on. Lapa-roscopy is suitable for partial tumors. The prognosis of pancre-atic neuroendocrine tumor is much better compared with that of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Surgery should be positive-ly considered to remove the primary and metastatic tumors to improve the prognosis of patients even with hepatic metastasis.
