ABSTRACT
Pancreatic endocrine tumors (PET) are rare neoplasms of the pancreas and account for less than 5% of all primary pancreatic malignancies. Included in this group are insulinomas, gastrinomas, glucagonomas and somatostatinomas. Collectively, these neoplasms are classified as functional PETs. When a PET is not associated with a clinical syndrome due to hormone oversecretion, it is referred to as a non-functional PET. Non-functionalPETs are pancreatic tumors with endocrine differentiation but lack a clinical syndrome of hormone hypersecretion. Although a pancreatic carcinoma shows aggressive biological behavior, a cutaneous metastasis from a pancreas carcinoma is rare. We report a case of a case of a cutaneous metastasis from an endocrine pancreatic carcinoma in a 50-year-old female that clinically manifested as a painful firm nodule on the back.
