| Core Tip |
Postprandial hypoglycemia and hypoglycemia following physical exercise associated with short periods of unconsciousness or amnesia and a low body weight were the clinical features of insulinoma in a 24-year-old man for over 6 years. The consequences of the chronic counterregulatory adrenergic response were also indirectly indicated by the increased metabolic activity of brown adipose tissue and decrease in muscle glycogen content, although the fasting test and other imaging results were initially evaluated as negative for abnormal findings. Therefore, if insulinoma is clinically suspected, the fasting test should be repeated. The patient was underweight with a very small amount of visceral fat, which increases the risk of perioperative complications, such as hypothermia and increased blood loss. |
