Facial erythema and pancreatic glucagonoma

Glucagonoma is a rare pancreatic tumor, that gives a characteristic clinical syndrome. In this report we describe the case of a 27 year old woman whose only clinical manifestations were a facial erythema and a palpable abdominal mass. Surgical removal of the tumor resulted in elimination of the clinical symptoms. Immunohistochemical findings were consistent with pancreatic glucagonoma.
