Abstract

Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasias (pNENs) may arise sporadically or in the setting of an inherited tumor syndrome. These syndromes comprise the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome, and the neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1). The prevalence and the different entities of pNENs differ significantly between these syndromes resulting in distinct treatment and screening recommendations.

Treatment of pNENs in the setting of an inherited tumor syndrome should consider the natural history of the disease, clinical symptoms, and the potential for malignant transformation which has to be considered individually for every patient.
