Insulinoma?


  • 7 year old FN Lab with dropped jaw (suspect trigeminal neuritis), mild pyrexia, mild anaemia (non-regen) and lethargy
  • Hypoglycaemic on oxolate lab sample, recheked with glucometer next visit – low normal
  • Is this a pancreatic mass or LN? Could this be an insulinoma?

  1. Would need to run insulin

    Would need to run insulin levels and if high with concurrent hypoglycemia, then diagnosis woud be insulinoma.

  2. The glucose was within normal

    The glucose was within normal range (low normal) at time of scan so did not check insulin levels then. Will recheck glucose again. Thanks.
