Core Tip |
Since hypoglycemia due to non–insulin-producing tumors is a rare lesion, so the natural course of non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia (NICTH) is not well understood. Here we describe a rare case of NICTH that was caused by a tumor that had been asymptomatic for 30 years. To our knowledge, this is the longest reported latency period before the onset of severe hypoglycemia. The sudden-onset of severe hypoglycemia in the patient described in this report indicates that NICTH can have an acute onset even when the tumor has been present for a longer time. |
