• Derived from neuroendocrine system of the GI tract
• APUD cells (amine precursor uptake and decarboxylation) cells that make polypeptides and biogenic amines
• Divided intoI. Carcinoid tumorsII. Pancreatic endocrine tumors(PET)

WHO CLASSIFICATION
– Well differentiated NET (non-invasive, benign behaving or uncertain malignant potential)
– Well-differentiated NE carcinomas (low grade malignant and has invasion or muscularis propria or metastasis)
– Poorly differentiated endocrine carcinomas (high grade, malignant)

General characteristics
• Share general neuroendocrine cell markers• Pathologic similarities • Similarities of biologic behavior• Similarities/differences in molecular
abnormalities

cells) found in the crypts of Lieberkühn• Known as Argentaffin cells• Most common location Small Intestine(Ileum
14.9%)• Most common incidence of carcinoid
syndrome Pancreas(20%)• Most common incidence of metastasis
Pancreas(72%)

Diagnosis
• Measurement of urinary or plasma serotonin or its metabolites & 5-HIAA in the urine.
• Serum chromogranin A and NSE• CT useful in detecting metastases and the
extent tumor• Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy using 111In-
labeled pentetreotide

output (BAO)• Treatment Proton pump inhibitors, H2receptor antagonist<15% hepatic mets without MEN I surgical
resection possible

GRF oma
• Suspect with abdominal tumours with acromegaly
• Treatment Somatostatin analogues Surgical treatment if metastasis not present

Other rare pancreatic endocrinetumor syndromes
• ACTHoma• PETs secreting PTHrP• PETs secreting calcitonin• PETs secreting renin• PETs secreting erythropoietin• PETs secreting LH
![Page 23: Endocrine tumors of git](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052315/55654c3cd8b42a77078b4651/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Non Functional PETs
• Symptoms entirely due to tumor per se• Present late• Occur primarily in the pancreatic head• secrete chromogranin,PP,HCG• Diagnosis by histological • Treatment surgical
![Page 24: Endocrine tumors of git](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052315/55654c3cd8b42a77078b4651/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Tumor Localization• CT• MRI• Transabdominal ultrasound• Endoscopic ultrasound – sensitivity/specificity
appx 80% for tumors in pancreas and duodenum and can allow for FNA
• Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) based on presence of somatostatin receptors in 80-90% of NET
• PET scanning
