Abstract Endocrine tumors of the pancreas. The endocrine pancreas is one of the most important endocrine organs in the body. The endocrine pancreas formed of cells of islets of langerhans constitutes part of the well acknowledged APLLD system. Normally it secretes insulin glucagon, somatostatin and the polypeptide hormone. However, it has the inherent capacity of secreting various peptide hormones. In the following essay, a study will be done about the tumors arising from the endocrine pancreas. Emphasis will be directed towards the incidence, pathology, clinical picture, investigations, management and prognosis of the tumors of the endocrine pancreas. |
