    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Oncology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Glucagonoma syndrome is a rare condition caused by a pancreatic alpha-cell tumor secreting excess glucagon.
    • Key features include necrolytic migratory erythema, diabetes mellitus, anemia, and weight loss.

    Observation:

    • A middle-aged woman presented with initial symptoms and signs primarily affecting the skin.
    • These cutaneous manifestations were characteristic of glucagonoma syndrome.

    Findings:

    • The patient was diagnosed with glucagonoma syndrome.
    • The diagnosis was facilitated by recognizing the distinctive skin findings.

    Implications:

    • Early identification of skin manifestations is crucial for timely diagnosis of glucagonoma syndrome.
    • Prompt diagnosis allows for earlier treatment of the underlying malignant pancreatic neoplasm.
