Apudomas of the pancreas

Apudomas of the pancreas form an interesting group because of their varied presentation which is frequently related to clinical syndromes caused by production of one or more hormones. We have had experience with the management of the two commonest syndromes associated with endocrine tumours. The ability of these tumours to produce more than one hormone and to be part of the multiple endocrine adenopathy should encourage more intensive biochemical and histochemical examination of patients presenting with these syndromes (AU)
