    Summary

    This review covers GEP peptide hormone excess syndromes, including somatostatinomas, PPomas, and neurotensinomas. Early diagnosis and understanding unique clinical features are crucial for managing these rare neuroendocrine tumors.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Oncology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) peptide hormone-secreting tumors cause distinct clinical syndromes.
    • Understanding these syndromes is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the clinical features and diagnostic considerations of three GEP peptide hormone excess syndromes.
    • To highlight emerging associations and diagnostic challenges.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing data on somatostatinomas, PPomas, and neurotensinomas.
    • Analysis of clinical presentations, diagnostic assays, and associated conditions.

    Main Results:

    • Somatostatin excess presents with diabetes, diarrhea, steatorrhea, or gastrointestinal bleeding, cholecystitis, or mass; associations with MEN II and neurofibromatosis are noted.
    • PPomas are often malignant, presenting late with hepatomegaly, abdominal pain, and jaundice.
    • Neurotensinomas are rare, mimicking VIPomas, with symptoms including edema, hypotension, cyanosis, and flushing.

    Conclusions:

    • GEP peptide hormone excess syndromes require careful clinical evaluation.
    • Early recognition of specific symptoms and associated conditions aids in diagnosing these rare neuroendocrine tumors.
