Percutaneous Cryoablation of Recurrent Pancreatic Mass for Life-Threatening Pancreatic VIPoma Syndrome: A Case Report.

We present the case of a 73-year-old female who underwent percutaneous cryoablation for recurrent life-threatening pancreatic vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-producing tumor (VIPoma) following a pancreaticoduodenectomy and chemotherapy 5 years earlier. She presented with profuse watery diarrhea causing severe electrolyte and acid-base abnormalities, along with acute kidney injury. Cryoablation was successful in treating her profound symptoms, completely reversing her clinical course. The patient has made a successful recovery for the last 1.5 years since the procedure.
