RADIOLOGY: PANCREAS: Case# 112: PANCREATIC NEUROENDOCRINE TUMOR. 73 year old man with a pancreatic mass by outside CT scan. There is a heterogenously enhancing mass within the head of the pancreas measuring approximately 5 cm. The mass abuts the SMV and portal vein but does not appear to encase them. Another heterogeneous mass measuring 4 x 6 cm is seen in the suprapancreatic/gastrohepatic ligament region compatible with nodal metastasis. The neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas are derived from the islet cells. The functioning islet cell tumors include: insulinoma, gastrinoma, glucagonoma, VIPoma, and somatostatinoma. Some islet cell tumors are non-functioning.
