Abstract
BENITEZGARCIA, Fabio; FERREIRA BOGADO, Miguel and RAMIREZ SOTOMAYOR, Julio. NON-FUCTIONAL CYSTIC NEUROENDOCRINE TUMORS OF PANCREAS. A CASE REPORT. Rev. Cir. Parag. [online]. 2017, vol.41, n.2, pp.27-29. ISSN 2307-0420. https://doi.org/10.18004/sopaci.agosto.27-29.
They constitute a heterogeneous group of tumors that can originate in virtually all organs; Itsetiopathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment still generate arguments, although it is known that they all have something in common: neuroendocrine cells as the origin of tumors, with biochemical and histological similarity with neural crest cells. We present the case of a patient, who was operated on in our service and whose final diagnosis was non-functioning cystic neuroendocrine tumor of intermediate aggressiveness.
Keywords : Non-functioning cystic neuroendocrine tumors of pancreas; surgical treatment..
