WELL DIFFERENTIATED NEUROENDOCRINE CARCINOMA OF PANCREAS- A CASE REPORT

MARTINA MARTINA

Abstract


Abstract : Pancreatic Endocrine tumors (PET) are uncommon
neoplasms that generally present with symptoms of hormone
overproduction (syndromic). Non functional tumors( non
syndromic) show an endocrine differentiation but lack the clinical
syndrome of hormone over production. This is a case report of a
60 years old male with a non functioning pancreatic endocrine
tumor. Immunohistochemical study was carried out to confirm
the diagnosis. This case is reported for its rare incidence.
Keyword :Neuroendocrine, pancreas, non-functional
