Descriptor somatostatinoma
Scope note: Tumor secretor de SOMATOSTATINA que deriva de las células delta (CÉLULAS D) del páncreas. También se encuentra en el INTESTINO. Los somatostatinomas se asocian a DIABETES MELLITUS, COLELITIASIS, ESTEATORREA e HIPOCLORHIDRIA. La mayoría pueden producir METÁSTASIS.

Scope note: A SOMATOSTATIN-secreting tumor derived from the pancreatic delta cells (SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS). It is also found in the INTESTINE. Somatostatinomas are associated with DIABETES MELLITUS; CHOLELITHIASIS; STEATORRHEA; and HYPOCHLORHYDRIA. The majority of somatostatinomas have the potential for METASTASIS.
