Extra-pancreatic Vipoma
Neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas are rare neoplasms representing approximately 2% of all pancreatic tumors9. Due to the progress of diagnostic imaging and radioimmunoassay, its diagnosis has become more frequent. Recent epidemiological studies suggest increased frequency12. Among the functioning tumors, vipoma (tumor cells producing vasoactive intestinal polypeptide) is also known as WDHA ...
