Abstract
Gangliocytic paraganglioma (GPG) with local lymph node metastasis was
found in the pancreas of a 74-yr-old female who presented with diarrhe
a, steatorrhea, vomiting, nausea, and abdominal pain, A Whipple proced
ure led to a complete resolution of these symptoms and a return of an
elevated stomatostatin level to normal, This is the first description
of GPG in this location and the first endocrinologically active GPG.
