Insulinoma Manifesting Early Postpartum: Case Report and Review of the Literature
: Objective: Insulinomas are insulin-producing neuroendocrine tumors. Insulinomas presenting during pregnancy and the early postpartum period are very rare.Methods: A 33-year-old woman with hypoglycemia early postpartum is described.

Clinical Management of Malignant Insulinoma: a single Institution’s experience over three decades
BackgroundMalignant insulinoma is extremely rare and accounts for only 10% of total insulinoma cases. The goal of this study is to retrospectively analyze clinical data from 15 patients with malignant insulinoma treated at Peking Union Medical College ...

Insulinoma in Patients with Diabetes- A Systematic Review of Previously Reported Cases
Introduction: Paradoxical co-existence of insulinoma and diabetes is extremely rare. Although a few case reports addressed this association, a comprehensive study elucidating this relationship has been lacking.

The angiogenic switch, the time at which a tumor becomes vascularized, is a critical step in tumor progression. Indeed, without blood supply, tumors will fail to grow beyond 1 mm3 and are unlikely to disseminate.

Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor Leading to a Diagnosis of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1
ABSTRACT Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms are rare but occasionally encountered. They are generally highly vascularized solid tumors, often round in shape with clear boundaries, defined contours, and a homogeneous internal structure. However, they can also present with atypical features, such as cystic degeneration, hemorrhage, calcification, and ...

A case of insulinoma with hypoglycemia that was better managed with lanreotide than octreotide
Long‐acting somatostatin analogs, including lanreotide slow release (LAN‐SR) and octreotide long‐acting release (OCT‐LAR), can improve hypoglycemia in insulinoma. LAN‐SR may be more beneficial in some patients with insulinoma than OCT‐LAR.

Human Polyomavirus BK Genome Analysis in BKPyV Induced Rodent Cell Lines
In this study, we analyzed the BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) genome derived from three rodent cell lines established from BKPyV induced tumors. BKPyV derived one cell line had a large deletion. The noncoding control region (NCCR) of BKPyV derived from these cell lines had the same structure as viruses induced tumors.

Unmasked insulinoma occasioned by severe hypoglycemic coma immediately postpartum: a case report
Background Insulinoma in women during pregnancy and postpartum is very rare; approximately 65% of cases are diagnosed early in pregnancy and ~ 35% immediately after delivery, few being found in middle or late pregnancy, likely due to increased insulin ...
