Pancreatic Tumors There are three types of pancreatic tumors. Insulinoma: This is a rare type of pancreatic tumor that secretes insulin, which lowers the levels of sugar in the blood. Research indicates that only 10% of insulinomas are cancerous. Surgery is the only option for survival of insulinoma and 90% success rate is assured.

Childhood Inherited Pancreatic Disorders Other Inherited Pancreatic Diseases. After CF and SDS, other causes of inherited pancreatic disease are extremely rare. They include Johansson Blizzard syndrome, Pearson’s bone marrow syndrome and hereditary pancreatitis. It is interesting to note that the hereditary pancreas gene is on chromosome 7 as well. This is a coincidence! In extremely unusual circumstances a child may be born without any pancreas – which includes both the digestive (exocrine) and insulin producing (endocrine) components of the pancreas.
