4.4.1 POJA-L2851+2852
Title: Endocrine pancreas tumor (insulinoma) (human)
Description: Stain: (A) Anti-insulin and (B) anti-glucagon antibody immunoperoxidase staining with diaminobenzidin reaction (DAB) and hematoxylin counterstaining.
The islet of Langerhans contains many insulin-producing β-cells (A, 2), and a small amount of glucagon producing α-cells (B, 2). The tumor cells (3) are all positive for anti-insulin stains (A), but completely negative for glucagon staining (B). It is diagnosed as an insulin-producing tumor (insulinoma) of the pancreas.
Keywords/Mesh: pancreas, insulinoma, insulin, glucagon, histology, POJA collection
