Glucagonoma

Glucagonoma is a rare, functioning type of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET; see this term) that hypersecretes glucagon, leading to a syndrome comprised of necrolytic migratory erythema, diabetes mellitus, anemia, weight loss, mucosal abnormalities, thromboembolism, gastrointestinal and neuropsychiatric symptoms.

Necrolytic migratory erythema without glucagonoma versus canine superficial necrolytic dermatitis: is hepatic impairment a clue to pathogenesis?
Kasper CS, McMurry K.
J Am Acad Dermatol. 1991;25(3):534-41.
In addition to a necrolytic dermatitis, both our patient and most dogs with superficial necrolytic dermatitis have diabetes mellitus and hepatic failure in the absence of glucagonoma.
