Meanings of somatostatin cell tumor in English

We introduce a narrative review of literature of somatostatinoma including the relationship with neurofibromatosis type 1.

Duodenal somatostatinoma is associated with the syndrome which actually involves more often a duodenal tumour of GIST type than a somatostatin secreting neoplasia.

Somatostatinoma, when not located on pancreas but in duodenoum, may be registered in subjects with neurofibromatosis type 1 most probably in addition to other tumours.
