Tumores neuroendocrinos del páncreas
All pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors derive from Langerhans islet cells and have a low incidence. Half of them are functioning tumors that produce diverse hormones and occasionally cause serious clinical endocrine syndromes. They may be malignant, but they have a better survival, if compared to panc...
