RESUMO
One of the primary indicators of this condition is a painful and migratory dermatitis. Additionally, early signs often include weight loss and diabetes. Patients with glucagonoma commonly first encounter general practitioners or dermatologists. Unfortunately, due to the nonspecific nature of symptoms such as eczema-like dermatitis, weight loss and diabetes, diagnosis is frequently delayed, often by 2-3 years. Consequently, by the time patients are diagnosed, the tumor has usually grown and metastasized, often spreading to the liver. As a result, surgical intervention is often not possible, and treatment options are usually limited to palliative care. However, with early diagnosis of glucagonoma, treatment can be curative. Therefore, it is crucial for medical professionals who initially meet these patients, including dermatologists, general practitioners, endocrinologists, and others, to be aware of this condition to ensure an early diagnosis. By recognizing the signs and symptoms early, doctors can potentially improve patient outcomes and save lives.
