title: Carcinoid of the pancreas.
abstract: The classical carcinoid tumour (WHO) of the pancreas is extremely rare and its diagnosis may puzzle physicians and pathologists. A case of such an impressive tumour is reported with reference to the few available data from the literature. Literature research was done using MedLine from 1996 going back to 1966. Criteria for diagnosis, recommendations for the patient's work-up and treatment as well as the prognosis of this disease are pointed out.
