title: [The functionally inactive endocrine pancreas tumor].
abstract: Endocrine tumors of the pancreas are extremely rare (1-3%). We present two cases with functional inactive tumors--one benign and one malignant--, which were immunohistologically secreting glucagon without having clinical symptoms. Differential diagnosis, operative strategy and therapy of endocrine tumors of the pancreas are discussed.
