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...

Insulinoma, gastrinoma, glucagonoma, VIPoma (VIP=vasoactive intestinal peptide), somatostatinoma and ACTHoma are functioning tumors and they may also be part of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type I (MEN 1) syndrome and of von Hippel-Lindau disease.
