Abstract
Islet cell tumors of the pancreas are rare. Functioning tumors are characterized by the symptoms induced by the hormones they secrete. The clinical behaviors of non-functioning tumors are quite different. In this retrospective study, we scrutinized 16 patients with non-functioning islet cell tumor in three tertiary university hospitals in Taiwan during a 20-year period.
