A case report of insulinoma presenting with seizures and localized on endoscopic ultrasound

Abstract

Insulinomas are rare functioning neuroendocrine (NEN) tumors. Up to 10% of insulinomas are associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia 1 (MEN1). Most of the tumors present with symptomatic hypoglycemia. Several non-invasive and invasive techniques are used to localize the lesion. We present a case of insulinoma How to cite this article: Umer W, Mohammed AS, Khan AA, Saddique MU, Zahid M.
