Overview
The abdominal ultrasound scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of glucagonoma. Finding on ultrasound scan suggestive of glucagonoma is a hypoechoic tumor in the distal pancreas. US-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy can often provide a non-operative histologic diagnosis.
Ultrasound
Endoscopic ultrasonography can detect lesions as small as 2 mm.[1]
It is more sensitive than CT or transabdominal ultrasonography for detection of glucagonoma.[2]
US-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy can often provide a non-operative histologic diagnosis.[3]
Finding on ultrasound scan suggestive of glucagonoma is a hypoechoic tumor in the distal pancreas.[1]
