[The glucagonoma syndrome--a not-so-well-known cutaneous paraneoplastic condition. Case report]

Report on a 50-year-old patient suffering from glucagonoma-syndrome caused by a metastatic pancreatic islet cell carcinoma which produced several peptide hormones. There was no chance of operative resection of the tumor because of liver metastases at the time of diagnosis. The patient was treated with DTIC, systemic corticosteroids and photochemotherapy. During this treatment the skin lesions disappeared completely.
