| description | The rarity of glucagonoma imposes a challenge with most patients being diagnosed after a long period of treatment for their skin rash (months-years). Awareness of physicians and dermatologists of the characteristic necrolytic migratory erythema often leads to early diagnosis.

Herein, we present a typical case of glucagonoma treated at our center and review the literature pertinent to its management. |
