The World Health Organization (WHO) 2017 classifications for neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) subdivided grade 3 pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs) into G3 well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (G3 pNETs) and poorly differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinomas (pNECs), according to the mitotic count, Ki-67 index, and cell differentiation.
