Insulinoma, a rare neuroendocrine tumor: a case report
Abstract
We report a case of Insulinoma, a rare neuroendocrine tumor with an incidence of approximately four per 5 million. This case demonstrates the characteristic clinical, biochemical and histological features of an insulinoma, a rare benign neuroendocrine tumor where early recognition is important to ensure proper surgical treatment and prevent serious adverse consequences.
