Endocrine tumors of the pancreas.
We have described the clinical presentation of the commonest syndromes associated with hormone production by functioning pancreatic tumors. The role of the radiologist in tumor localization, staging, and treatment is discussed and the various imaging methods employed are examined individually. The problems of reviewing the world literature on such rare lesions are discussed and a tentative diagnostic algorithm is suggested.
