Abstract:
Glucagonoma is an endocrine tumor of almost exclusively pancreatic origin which is rarely associated with a clinical syndrome mainly characterized by migratory necrolytic erythema, hyperglycemia, weight loss, hypoaminoacidemia and anemia. Ten to 30% of the patients may present thromboembolic phenomenon, deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism which often lead to the death of the patient. We report the case of a patient diagnosed with pancreatic glucagonoma the presentation of which consisted in episodes of repeated deep vein thrombosis without associated migratory necrolytic erythema.
