Type

  • Topical Descriptor

Broader concept

Note

  • coord IM with PANCREATIC NEOPLASMS (IM) or other precoord organ/neopl term (IM) if primary; this is a delta cell tumor

Scope note

  • A SOMATOSTATIN-secreting tumor derived from the pancreatic delta cells (SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS). It is also found in the INTESTINE. Somatostatinomas are associated with DIABETES MELLITUS; CHOLELITHIASIS; STEATORRHEA; and HYPOCHLORHYDRIA. The majority of somatostatinomas have the potential for METASTASIS.

History note

  • 91(82); was see under ISLET CELL TUMOR 1982-90
