ABSTRACT
Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms (PNEN) are rare tumours exhibiting very heterogeneous behaviour. For these reasons, studies with high level of evidence are lacking. Whether lymphadenectomy should be performed for PNEN is a matter of debate. In this review, we perform a critical analysis of the available literature regarding the clinical significance of lymphnode metastases, the importance of lymphadenectomy, and the implications on disease-specific survival.
