About: Passaro's triangle

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Passaro's triangle or Gastrinoma triangle is a presumptive region in the abdomen between three points: 1. * Superior-porta hepatis (earlier-confluence of the cystic and common bile duct), 2. * Inferior-junction of the second and third portion of duodenum, and 3. * Medial- junction of the neck and body of the pancreas The importance of the triangle is because it is known as the source of origin of most gastrinomas. However, primary gastrinomas can also occur in the liver or extrahepatic bile ducts, commonly with metastasis to the local lymph nodes.
