Histological analyses of the resected pancreatic tumor. A Macroscopic image of the resected tumor (Arrow, 10 × 8 mm, well-defined yellowish mass). B Histological findings of the resected pancreatic tumor. Sections of the tumor were stained by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) as well as chromogranin A, synaptophysin, insulin and Ki67 (Magnification × 400). Tumor cells were positive for chromogranin A, synaptophysin and insulin, and the proliferation index, assessed by Ki67 immunostaining, was < 2.0% (NET, G1, according to WHO 2019). Tumor cells were negative for glucagon, gastrin, and somatostatin (data not shown)
