PY - 2018 T2 - Textbook of Complex General Surgical Oncology AB - Historically termed “carcinoid” and “islet cell tumors,” pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) comprise a rare group of tumors that range from the spectrum of well-differentiated functional tumors to nonfunctional poorly differentiated carcinomas. This group of tumors often produces hormones resulting in clinically apparent symptoms. Derived from the islet cells of Langerhans, the first islet cell tumor was reported in 1902.1 Since then, 10 different categories of PNETs have been described, with all but one category being associated with a functional syndrome.
