Abstract
A patient with a clinically non-functioning pancreatic islet cell tumour in the medial wall of the duodenum with erosion of the overlying mucosa presented with gastro-intestinal bleeding. At gastroduodenoscopy, the tumour with its apical ulcer was thought to be a leiomyoma. The lesion was excised locally and two other non-functioning APUDomas were shelled out of the body and tail of the pancreas.
