[Islet cell tumors. Diagnostic and operative aspects (author's transl)]. 1977

G Koch, and R Eichen, and H P Eichfuss, and P Eckert

Islet cell tumors have been described the past 25 years in frequent series. Multiple symptoms lead often to prolongation of disease and misinterpretation of diagnosis. Because of its rarity most authors report only few cases. We had the chance to observe 24 patients of which four had carcinoma within 12 years. Symptoms, clinic, different surgical procedures are described. Clinical difference seems to exists between benigne and malignant islet cell tumors.

D007516 Adenoma, Islet Cell A benign tumor of the pancreatic ISLET CELLS. Usually it involves the INSULIN-producing PANCREATIC BETA CELLS, as in INSULINOMA, resulting in HYPERINSULINISM.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010190 Pancreatic Neoplasms Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).

D006946 Hyperinsulinism A syndrome with excessively high INSULIN levels in the BLOOD. It may cause HYPOGLYCEMIA. Etiology of hyperinsulinism varies, including hypersecretion of a beta cell tumor (INSULINOMA); autoantibodies against insulin (INSULIN ANTIBODIES); defective insulin receptor (INSULIN RESISTANCE); or overuse of exogenous insulin or HYPOGLYCEMIC AGENTS.
