necrolytic migratory erythema/diarrhea

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dermatologists may also encounter patients presenting with skin lesions that reflect an underlying endocrine disorder not commonly seen in daily practice. Some of these endocrine disorders include glucagonoma, neurofibromatosis type 1, McCune-Albright syndrome, multiple endocrine neoplasia, the

Background: Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI), a rare disease of excessive and dysregulated insulin secretion, can lead to prolonged and severe hypoglycemia. Dextrose infusions are a mainstay of therapy to restore normal glycemia, but can be associated with volume overload, especially in

Clinical pellagra is a multiple vitamin-deficiency disease. The clinical manifestations include dermatitis, diarrhea, and dementia; the result is often death. Photosensitivity has also been associated with pellagra. Other clinical findings may depend on the nutritional status of the patient.

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

Four patients with metastatic glucagonoma and one patient with metastatic diarrheogenic islet cell carcinoma of the pancreas were treated with dimethyltriazenoimidazole carboxamide (DTIC), 250 mg/M2 daily for five days repeated every four weeks. All patients responded clinically and chemically in

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

Neuroendocrine paraneoplastic syndromes (PNS) consist of metabolic disorders that accompany benign and malignant neoplasms but remain unrelated to mass effects or invasion by the primary tumor or its metastases. The underlying pathogenesis responsible for PNS usual clinical presentation relies on

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
