title: An aggressive neuroendocrine tumour in a man with AIDS.
abstract: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PETs), though rare, are usually slow growing tumours with a relatively good prognosis. We describe a case of an aggressive malignant neuroendocrine tumour of the pancreas occurring in an AIDS patient, which has not been reported previously.
