AB Historically  termed  “carcinoid”  and  “islet  cell  tumors,”  pancreatic  neuroendocrine  tumors  (PNETs)  comprise  a  rare  group  of  tumors  that  range  from  the  spectrum  of  well-differentiated  functional  tumors  to  nonfunctional  poorly  differentiated  carcinomas.  This  group  of  tumors  often  produces  hormones  resulting  in  clinically  apparent  symptoms.  Derived  from  the  islet  cells  of  Langerhans,  the  first  islet  cell  tumor  was  reported  in  1902.1  Since  then,  10  different  categories  of  PNETs  have  been  described,  with  all  but  one  category  being  associated  with  a  functional  syndrome.
