Overview
The incidence of glucagonoma is approximately 0.0005 per 100,000 individuals worldwide. Glucagonoma affects men and women equally. The median age at diagnosis of glucagonoma is 52.5 years.
Epidemiology and Demographics
- Annual incidence is 0.01 to 0.1 new cases per 100,000.1
- While most glucagonomas are sporadic, up to 20 percent may be associated with the multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 1 (MEN1).
- However, glucagonomas occur in only 3 percent of MEN1 patients [3].
- Patients typically present in their fifth decade [2].
- Fewer than 251 cases of glucagonoma have been described in the literature.
