Von Hippel-Lindau(VHL) syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant hereditary disease, and pancreas is one of the frequently involved intra-abdominal organs, including simple pancreatic cysts, pancreatic serous cystadenomas and neuroendocrine neoplasmas. Most of the VHL-related pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasmas (VHL-pNEN)were non-functional, but they still have a tendency to be malignant. Treatment options for VHL-pNEN include regular follow-up, surgical resection, and medication therapy. When compared with sporadic pNEN, the malignant degree of VHL-pNEN is lower, with a better prognosis, so the surgical treatment should be carefully considered. The indications of surgery for VHL-pNEN include big primary lesions (≥3 cm), fast tumor doubling time (\textless500 days), VHL gene mutation on exon 3, malignant manifestations on imaging findings, and functional pNEN lesions. The function-preserving approach should be performed to keep the functional pancreatic parenchyma as much as possible. Even for patients with a late stage malignancy that cannot be radically resected, active medication therapy may still lead to a long-term survival.
