Multifocal pancreatic PPoma in the setting of MEN1: Case report and review of literature
Functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (pNETs) that express pancreatic polypeptide-PPomas-do not yet have a pathognomonic clinical syndrome associated with them due to their overall rarity and diverse symptoms.

Olivia Williams nearly ‘starved to death’ due to deadly cancer mistaken as menopause
THE CROWN actress Olivia Williams suffered from four years of severe cancer symptoms before she was accurately diagnosed and treated. During that time doctors repeatedly told her she was perimenopausal.
Olivia Williams, 53, perhaps best known for her roles in The Sixth Sense, Anna Karenina, and more recently as Camilla Parker Bowles in The Crown, was interrupted by an abrupt email on set for a film. The email, which would move her to tears, diagnosed her with pancreatic cancer – the killer of 26 people every day. On the one hand, it ended four years of confusion and a misdiagnosis but on the other would mark the beginning of her invasive treatment.
