INSULINOMA OF THE TAIL OF THE PANCREAS - A CASE REPORT.

Insulinoma is a rare neuroendocrine functional tumor of the pancreas of unknown etiology which manifests itself through hypoglycemic symptoms which resolve by administering glycose. Common autonomic symptoms of insulinoma include diaphroresis, tremor, and palpitations, whereas neuroglycopenenic symptoms include confusion, behavioural changes, personality changes, visual disturbances, seizure, and coma. In most cases, these are benign solitary tumors of the pancreas, and in 5% of the cases they are associated with MEN1 syndrome.
