Islet Cell Adenoma
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Because of its connection to the specialist, it helps to know that an islet cell adenoma is a usually benign tumor that forms from the islet cells of the pancreas, which are responsible for producing hormones such as insulin.
Which specialist treats it? Its evaluation may involve the endocrinologist, the general surgeon, and, in some cases, the oncologist, depending on the characteristics of the lesion.
Possible manifestations: Some produce excess hormones and cause symptoms such as episodes of dizziness, sweating, tremors, or discomfort related to changes in blood sugar.
When to seek care? If you have recurring symptoms that suggest hormonal changes, the wisest thing is to discuss it with a professional to guide the appropriate tests.
