Overview
Other diagnostic study for glucagonoma includes biopsy, which demonstrates epidermal necrosis, subcorneal pustules, either isolated or associated with necrosis of the epidermis, confluent parakeratosis, epidermal hyperplasia, and marked papillary dermal angioplasia and suppurative folliculitis.
Other Diagnostic Studies
- Biopsy:[1]
- Skin biopsy is a good test for skin lesions, which may demonstrate necrolytic migratory erythema in patients with glucagonoma.
- Epidermal necrosis
- Subcorneal pustules, either isolated or associated with necrosis of the epidermis
- Confluent parakeratosis
- Epidermal hyperplasia, and marked papillary dermal angioplasia
- Suppurative folliculitis
