Insulinoma is a rare tumor of the islands of Langerhans, which causes endogenous hypoglycemia. Most tumors are benign, but some are malignant and have a potential for metastases. The disease should be considered in patients presenting symptoms of hypoglycemia with no provable external cause. This paper describes one case of malignant insulinoma.
