SANTIAGO PEREZ, Anabet  e  GUTIERREZ SANTANA, Jorge. Insulinoma. Medicentro Electrónica [online]. 2022, vol.26, n.4, pp. 995-1001.  Epub 01-Dez-2022. ISSN 1029-3043.

Insulinoma is a rare pancreatic islet cell tumor characterized by proliferation of beta cells. They are pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, generally benign and small in size, characterized by insulin hypersecretion syndrome with the development of hypoglycemia. Most of these tumors are sporadic, only about 15-30% are hereditary; it is associated with diseases such as multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1, or Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome. The incidence of this tumor is 3-10 cases per million inhabitants. The average age of onset is between 40-50 years of age and it is more frequent in women. Early recognition and proper diagnosis of this rare pancreatic tumor are important aspects, as it is potentially curable with timely surgical treatment.
