1 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
Proliferative changes in the neuroendocrine cells that precede neoplasia are of interest for the understanding of tumorigenesis and the early recognition of neuroendocrine tumors. This review focuses on precursor lesions of duodenal and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) and also discusses 2 new disease entities of pancreatic microadenomatosis. The gastrinomas observed...
