Insulinoma: Unraveling the Mystery of a Stealthy Culprit

Insulinoma, a rare pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, stealthily lurks within the pancreas, often evading detection until its distinctive symptom, recurrent hypoglycemia, comes to the surface. This case report aims to highlight the significance of a multidisciplinary approach in the management of this uncommon neuroendocrine tumor by discussing the diagnostic, therapeutic, and follow-up difficulties encountered in an older adult presenting with atypical symptoms of insulinoma.

Abstract

Insulinoma, a rare pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, stealthily lurks within the pancreas, often evading detection until its distinctive symptom, recurrent hypoglycemia, comes to the surface. This case report aims to highlight the significance of a multidisciplinary approach in the management of this uncommon neuroendocrine tumor by discussing the diagnostic, therapeutic, and follow-up difficulties encountered in an older adult presenting with atypical symptoms of insulinoma.
