Overview
Glucagonoma was first discovered by Becker in 1942.
Historical Perspective
Fewer than 250 cases of glucagonoma have been described in the literature since their first description by Becker in 1942.[1]
- More than 20 years later in 1966 McGavran et al. reported a patient who was affected by hyperglucagonemia, eczematoid, erythematous rash, mild diabetes mellitus, anemia, and a glucagon-secreting alpha cell tumor of pancreas simultaneously.[2]
