[Necrolytic migratory erythema associated with glucagonoma].
Glucagonoma is a rare pancreatic tumor that is usually associated with a syndrome that includes diabetes, anemia, weight loss and skin lesions in the form of necrolytic migratory erythema. We present the case of a patient with malignant glucagonoma treated with surgery and octreotide, which manifested with skin lesions. The discussion will review the physiopathology, other causes of necrolytic erythema, diagnosis and differential diagnosis and treatment.
