“…The classification of the neuroendocrine tumors of the duodenum is based on the studies of Dayal et al [77], Lasson et al [78], Hamid et al [79], Stephens et al [80], Barbareschi et al [81 ], Burke et al [82], Pipeleers-Marichal et al [32], Zamboni et al [83], Capella et al [84], SanchezSosa et al [85], Dookhan et al [86], Ricci [87], and Hatzitheoklitos et al [88]. According to these studies five major types of neuroendocrine tumors can be distinguished in the duodenum: gastrin-producing tumor, somatostatinproducing tumor, gangliocytic paraganglioma, serotonin/ calcitonin/PP-producing tumors, and poorly differen tiated carcinoma.…”
