Overview

Other diagnostic studies for glucagonoma include biopsy, which demonstrates epidermal necrosis, subcorneal pustules, either isolated or associated with necrosis of the epidermis, confluent parakeratosis, epidermal hyperplasia and marked papillary dermal angioplasia, and suppurative folliculitis.

Other Diagnostic Studies

  • Skin biopsy is a good test for skin lesions, which may demonstrate necrolytic migratory erythema in patients with glucagonoma.
  • Findings on biopsy suggestive of glucagonoma include:
  • Epidermal necrosis
  • Subcorneal pustules, either isolated or associated with necrosis of the epidermis
  • Confluent parakeratosis
  • Epidermal hyperplasia, and marked papillary dermal angioplasia
  • Suppurative folliculitis
