insulinomarelated
Insulinoma-related refers to the clinical and management aspects of insulinomas, rare pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors that secrete insulin and cause recurrent hypoglycemia. The excess insulin leads to neuroglycopenic and autonomic symptoms, particularly during fasting or exertion.
Most insulinomas are sporadic and benign, though a minority are malignant or part of multiple endocrine neoplasia
Clinical features commonly include symptoms of hypoglycemia such as shakiness, sweating, palpitations, confusion, weakness, or visual
Diagnosis relies on biochemical and imaging studies. Biochemically, during a hypoglycemic episode, insulin, C-peptide, and proinsulin
Management centers on tumor removal when feasible. Surgical enucleation is often curative for small, benign insulinomas;
