Case Report: A case of occult insulinoma localized by [18F] FB (ePEG12)12-exendin-4 positron emission tomography with negative findings of selective arterial calcium stimulation test
The <sup>18</sup>F-exendin-4 PET/CT successfully localized an insulinoma undetectable by other methods, enabling minimally invasive curative resection. This technique offers a valuable diagnostic option for enabling minimally invasive surgery in occult insulinoma cases.
