Conclusion

This case reports the incidental finding of a clinically non-functioning pNET in a patient with T2D and elevated glucagon levels, unexpectedly diagnosed as glucagon-producing NET and ACH. A high level of suspicion was required to conduct the glucagon immunostaining, which is not part of the pathology routine for a clinically non-functioning pNET, and was key for the diagnosis that otherwise would have been missed. This case highlights the need to consider the diagnosis of glucagon-producing pNET on an ACH background even in the absence of glucagonoma syndrome.
