This case report details a rare, large, benign pancreatic insulinoma causing hypoglycemia. The study highlights a unique case of a pancreatic tumor with significant volume and benign characteristics.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Oncology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Insulinomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas responsible for hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia.
  • Benign insulinomas are more common than malignant forms, but large tumors can present diagnostic and management challenges.

Observation:

  • A case report of a pancreatic insulinoma with benign histology is presented.
  • This specific insulinoma exhibited the largest volume documented in the medical literature to date for this tumor type.

Findings:

  • The pancreatic tumor was histologically confirmed as benign.
  • The tumor's significant volume distinguishes it from previously reported insulinomas.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of the spectrum of insulinoma presentation and size.
