Overview

If left untreated, patients with VIPoma may progress to develop watery diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, skin rash, backache, flushing, and lethargy.[1] Common complications of VIPoma include metastasis, cardiac arrest from low blood potassium level, and dehydration. The presence of metastasis is associated with a particularly poor prognosis among patients with VIPoma, with a 5 year survival rate of 60%.[2]

Natural History

Complications

Common complications of VIPoma include:

Prognosis

  • Surgery can usually cure VIPomas. However, in one-third to one-half of patients, the tumor has spread by the time of diagnosis and cannot be cured.
  • The 5-year survival for patients with localized VIPoma is 94% whereas metastatic pancreatic VIPomas is 60%, respectively.[2]
