[Vasoactive polypeptide-producing pancreatic carcinoma].
Authors report a case of Verner-Morrison syndrome which occurred in a 75-year-old man. The syndrome was caused by a pancreas VIP-oma with the histological structure of adenocarcinoma. Treatment with somatostatin analogous (octreotid) was effective, but the outcome was lethal due to subsequent pulmonary embolism.
