Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Microtumors (WHO 2022) Are Not Always Low-Grade Neoplasms: A Case with a Highly Increased Proliferation Rate

Traditionally considered non-functional low proliferative benign neuroendocrine proliferations measuring less than 5 mm, pancreatic (neuro)endocrine microadenomas are now classified as pancreatic neuroendocrine microtumors in the 2022 WHO classification of endocrine and neuroendocrine tumors. This case report discussed the features of an incidentally identified 4.7-mm glucagon-expressing pancreatic neuroendocrine microtumor with MEN1 mutation only, chromosomally stable and an epigenetic alpha-like phenotype. The tumor was associated with an unexplained increased proliferation rate in Ki-67 of 15
