Abstract
Glucagonoma is a rare pancreatic tumor, that gives a characteristic cl inical syndrome. In this report we describe the case of a 27 year old woman whose only clinical manifestations were a facial erythema and a palpable abdominal mass. Surgical removal of the tumor resulted in eli mination of the clinical symptoms. Immunohistochemical findings were c onsistent with pancreatic glucagonoma.
