Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) is a rare and heterogeneous group of tumors with widely varying morphologies and behaviors. Due to their rarity and heterogeneity, progress in improving its treatment has been slow. Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) is a subset of NETs, previously known as islet cell tumors, occupies 3% of the primary pancreatic tumors with the annual incidence rate of (1-2)/100 000. In recent years, it is very necessary to improve the diagnosis and treatment of pNETs.
