Glucagonoma is a rare and slow-growing pancreatic tumor that usually manifests as glucagonoma syndrome. It is mainly characterized by a typical Dermatosis named necrolytic migratory erythema (NME), Diabetes and glucagon oversecretion. Deep vein thrombosis and Depression complete this set. We report
A case report of endocrine pancreatic tumour associated with diabetes and hyperparathyroidism is presented. Some arguments are in favour of a glucagonoma. Despite the absence of beta-cells in tumour, an exceptional result was obtained by use of Streptozotocin. This case brings up the relations
The glucagonoma syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by weight loss, necrolytic migratory erythema (NME), diabetes, stomatitis, and diarrhea. We identified 21 patients with the glucagonoma syndrome evaluated at the Mayo Clinic from 1975 to 1991. Although NME and diabetes help identify patients
The glucagonoma syndrome occurs in some but not all patients with a benign or malignant islet cell tumor and hyperglucagonemia. Manifestations may include anemia, diabetes mellitus, pruritic skin rash, glossitis, stomatitis, weight loss, diarrhea, flexible fingernails, venous thromboses, low plasma
Glucagonomas are rare functional endocrine tumors of the pancreas that classically present with symptoms of glucagon excess, including rash, hyperglycemia, diarrhea, and weight loss. Metastatic disease at presentation is common but is often limited to the liver and regional lymph nodes. We describe
We report a case of pancreatic tumour metastatic to the liver in a patient with insulin-treated diabetes, anaemia, cheilitis, necrolytic migratory erythema, hypokalemia and chronic watery diarrhea, a picture suggesting combined glucagonoma and VIPoma syndromes. Immunocytochemistry of a biopsied
Eight different neoplastic disorders can cause chronic diarrhea attributable to humoral-mediated diarrhea. These include pancreatic endocrine tumor (PET) syndromes (gastrinomas, VIPomas, glucagonomas, somatostatinomas, PET's releasing calcitonin), carcinoid syndrome, medullary thyroid cancer, and
After an acute episode of pancreatitis, a 63-year-old man was found to have a pancreatic glucagonoma. The tumor was resected without evidence of metastases. Three years later he had symptoms of uncontrolled diabetes, no skin lesions, and diarrhea and was found to have a pancreatic pseudocyst and
A patient who survived for 21 years since initial discovery of glucagonoma with concurrent liver metastases is described. Psychiatric symptoms, weight loss, necrolytic migratory erythema, diarrhea, and diabetes mellitus developed gradually after diagnosis of the tumor. No specific treatment was
Glucagonoma syndrome encompasses necrolytic migratory erythema (NME), hyperglucagonemia, diabetes mellitus, anemia, weight loss, glossitis, angular cheilitis, steatorrhea, diarrhea, venous thrombosis, and neuropsychiatric disturbance. Of all the symptoms, NME is a rare skin disorder which is
BACKGROUND
Glucagonoma syndrome is a rare paraneoplastic phenomenon, with an estimated incidence of one in 20 million, characterized by necrolytic migratory erythema, hyperglucagonemia, diabetes mellitus, anemia, weight loss, glossitis, cheilitis, steatorrhea, diarrhea, venous thrombosis and
A 73-year-old man had diabetes mellitus, diarrhea, weight loss, and a rash of several years' duration. The rash, termed necrolytic migratory erythema, was the most characteristic feature and eventually suggested the diagnosis of a glucagon-secreting tumor of the pancreas. Diabetic ketoacidosis also
Within four years a 44-year-old man developed a glucagonorma syndrome with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, weight loss, diarrhea, anemia and a marked superinfected eczema. He developed an organo-cerebral psychosyndrome with cognitive retardation and syncoptic disturbance of consciousness,
Of all tissues, the skin has the third highest abundance of zinc in the body. In the skin, the zinc concentration is higher in the epidermis than in the dermis, owing to a zinc requirement for the active proliferation and differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes. Here we review the dynamics and
OBJECTIVE
To review the clinical features associated with hyperglucagonemia in malignant neuroendocrine tumors.
METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with hyperglucagonemia encountered at our institution from Oct. 17, 1988, through February 1993 who had a fasting serum
