==Introduction==
==Description==
Glucagonomas are very rare tumours of the alpha cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans that produce the hormone glucagon without appropriate regulation. The excessive secretion of glucogon is a form of topic paraneoplastic syndrome. The disease has been reported in approximately ten dogs and it is therefore extremely rare.

The prognosis is generally poor as the tumour has usually metastasised by the time it is diagnosed.
