  1. GP: Gangliocytic paraganglioma, NET: neuroendocrine tumor.
  2. Legend: Duodenal neuroendocrine tumor (NET) G1 except for gangliocytic paraganglioma (GP) showed completely negative reactivity for hormone (estrogen and progesterone) receptors and pancreatic polypeptide. Statistically, GP showed significantly higher positive reactivity for progesterone receptor and pancreatic polypeptide (Chi-square test: P < 0.05 for each).
