Description
Abstract
The clinical presentation, histopathology and
immunoelectron microscopic features of two cases of
duodenal somatostatinoma are described, one of which is
a hitherto unreported example of a collision tumour with
a neurofibroma. Ultrastructural morphometric
immunoelectron microscopy studies revealed the
presence of four types of cells in both tumours, but there
was no difference in the proportions of these cells
between the collision tumour and the non-collision
tumour. Neurosecretory granules ranging in size from
255-815 nm were generally larger than those previously
reported for somatostatinomas and somatostatin was
identified in granules of all sizes across this range.
Neither tumour was associated with the somatostatinoma
syndrome comprising associated diabetes mellitis,
steatorrhoea and cholelithiasis.
