Unlike secretions from other digestive organs populated with neuroendocrine cells (particularly the stomach, pancreas, and liver), where evidence exists for the paracrine regulation of secretion, salivary gland secretions are considered to be predominantly regulated by the autonomic nervous system. Specifically, the tumors contained cells that resembled Merkel cells, a type of neuroendocrine cells that were first described in 1875 by German anatomist and pathologist Friedrich Sigmund Merkel. Neuroendocrine tumors are a type of cancer that arises from neuroendocrine cells and can occur in different parts of the body. |
