Abstract

Primary jejunal gastrinomas are exceedingly rare, and data for long-term follow-up is limited. Until now, only six cases of gastrinomas arising from the jejunum have been reported in the English literature. Presented is a case of a primary gastrinoma located in the proximal jejunum. After surgical resection of the tumor, eugastrinemia was quickly achieved and after a 10-year follow-up period, the patient was still disease-free. This case report demonstrates that surgical resection of a primary jejunal gastrinoma without evidence of metastasis can be curative, with a good long-term prognosis.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 July 2016.
All research outputs
#20,335,423
of 22,880,230 outputs
Outputs from World Journal of Surgical Oncology
#1,583
of 2,046 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#239,510
of 285,755 outputs
Outputs of similar age from World Journal of Surgical Oncology
#14
of 17 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,880,230 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,046 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.1. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 285,755 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 17 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
