ABSTRACT

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors are rare. It is a heterogeneous group of neoplasms with very different behavior and prognosis. They can appear sporadically or associated with genetic syndromes. They are divided into functioning and non-functioning. A descriptive retrospective study of patients diagnosed with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor was performed. The incidental diagnosis of these tumors is increasingly. The only curative treatment for these tumors is surgical excision, depending on the location and characteristics of the tumor and the patient. In selected cases a conservative attitude is recommended.
