Abstract

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the pancreas are rare, slow growing tumors with capacity to metastasize. NETs are classified as functional or non-functional. The transformation of a non-functional NET to a functional metastatic NET is exceedingly rare. We present a case of a completely resected non-functional NET that recurred as a metastatic insulinoma.
