Insulinoma with Hyperprocalcitoninemia and Hypercalcitoninemia Showing Coexpression of Insulin and Calcitonin in Its Tumor Cells
Internal medicine(2024)
摘要
Neuroendocrine neoplasms can produce multiple hormones that are released into the bloodstream, causing symptoms that vary depending on the type and quantity of hormones involved. We herein report a 63-year-old asymptomatic patient with pancreatic insulinoma who showed marked elevations in circulating calcitonin and procalcitonin levels that returned to normal following surgery. Immunohistochemical analyses confirmed the co-staining of calcitonin and insulin immunoreactivity in the tumor cells, suggesting a calcitonin-producing insulinoma. This insulinoma released calcitonin and a considerable amount of its precursor peptide, procalcitonin, resulting in both hyperprocalcitoninemia and hypercalcitoninemia.
