Islet cell cancer (tumors)

Islet cell tumors are some of the rarest of the neuroendocrine tumors, and include VIPomas, gastrinomas, insulinomas, glucagonomas, and pancreatic islet cell carcinomas. Some islet cells are non-functional. They do not produce a homone that, as of yet, the medical profession can identify or a syndrome that they recongize.
