Surgical Clinics of North America, 2009 Insulinoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor with an incidence of 4 per 1 million persons per year, which may occur as a unifocal sporadic event in patients without an inherited syndrome or as a part of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1. Key neuroglycopenic and hypoglycemic symptoms in conjunction with biochemical proof establish the diagnosis. Once the

Neurofibromatosis and insulinoma [PDF]
Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1995 AbstractA 45-year-old man with neurofibromatosis presented with recurrent seizures due to hypoglycaemia caused by an insulinoma. The attacks were abolished after the successful removal of the insulinoma. This probably represents another example of the association between neurofibromatosis and a tumour consisting of cells with amine-precursor-uptake and

Periodic limb movement disorder: A novel presentation of insulinoma
Annals of Movement Disorders, 2018 Hypoglycemia because of insulinoma can mimic many neurological disorders including movement disorders during sleep. We present a 54-year-old woman who presented with features typical of periodic limb movement disorder and on detailed evaluation was found

Genetic obesity increases pancreatic expression of mitochondrial proteins which regulate cholesterol efflux in BRIN-BD11 insulinoma cells [PDF]
, 2019 Pancreatic β-cells are sensitive to fluctuations in cholesterol content, which can damage the insulin secretion pathway, contributing to the aetiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

In Vivo Imaging of Transplanted Islets with ^(64)Cu-DO3A-VS-Cys^(40)-Exendin-4 by Targeting GLP-1 Receptor [PDF]
, 2011 Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) is highly expressed in pancreatic islets, especially on β-cells. Therefore, a properly labeled ligand that binds to GLP-1R could be used for in vivo pancreatic islet imaging.
