During diseases of the pancreas not only extrasecretory but also intrasecretory disorders are observed. The disturbances are dependent on excessive or insufficient releasing of hormones which are physiologically secreted by the pancreas. The most common endocrine disorder, which develops in pancreatic diseases, is insufficient insulin production which leads to carbohydrates balance disorders. The occurrence of endocrine pancreatic tumors (insulinoma, gastrinoma) is visibly less common--2-10% of neoplasmy of the organ. In group of endocrine tumors of the pancreas are also observed some changes which are able to release the vase-active intestinal peptide (VIP-oma), glucagon tumors, carcinoid released serotonine and somatostatinoma. More over, low-differentiated endocrine carcinomas of the pancreas consist about 1% of all pancreatic tumors and 2-3% of the all endocrine tumors.
