Abstract
Glucagonoma is a neuroendocrine tumour of very low incidence, estimated at 1 case per 20 million people per year. It typically manifests with a clinical syndrome that includes a characteristic dermatosis called necrolytic migratory erythema (NME). We present the case of a 60-year-old male with NME as the initial presentation of a pancreatic tumour and its imaging findings. We emphasize the importance of recognizing the clinical features of NME and the role of different imaging methods for early diagnosis and correct management of these pancreatic tumours.
