A Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor with an Unusual Flush
Journal Title: Annals of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
A 60-year-old man presented with an unusual history of lower limb flushing. A CT scan suggested a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. After a robotic distal pancreatectomy, his symptoms completely resolved. The tumor was positive for synaptophysin and chromogranin. This case emphasizes the importance of recognizing atypical features in patients, especially with an unusual skin presentation that might indicate rare tumor types.
