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.

To identify the location of pancreatic endocrine tumors, arterial stimulation and venous sampling (ASVS) is known to be useful for insulinoma and gastrinoma, but its usefulness for glucagonoma has not been verified to date.

Glucagon-producing pancreatic endocrine tumors in two dogs with superficial necrolytic dermatitis.
Gross TL, O'Brien TD, Davies AP, Long RE.
J Am Vet Med Assoc. 1990;197(12):1619-22.
Clinically and histologically, skin lesions closely resembled necrolytic migratory erythema of people, a skin disease that usually is associated with a glucagon-secreting pancreatic endocrine tumor and diabetes mellitus (glucagonoma syndrome): The morphologically descriptive term, superficial necrolytic dermatitis, was preferred over the previously proposed names hepatocutaneous syndrome and diabetic dermatopathy, which each connote only a single feature of the disease.
