A Man With Whipple's Triad Secondary to a Malignant Insulinoma

Abstract

Insulinomas are neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas that are derived from the β cells and secrete insulin. They are rare and most are benign growths within the pancreas. We present a patient who had a long history of symptoms suggestive of recurrent fasting hypoglycemia and was subsequently found to have a small malignant insulinoma within his pancreas requiring extensive surgery.
