In adults, endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia is almost invariably due to insulinoma. The authors describe a 29 year old patient with repeated postprandial symptomatic hypoglycaemias and negative prolonged fast test. Distal pancreatectomy was performed, directed by positive arteriographic testing. Histological examination revealed pancreatic nesidioblastosis and no tumoral lesion. Distinct pathogenetic, clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of this rare disease in the adult are reviewed.

Article Synopsis
- * A study was conducted on 9 patients with unexplained high insulin levels, where a calcium stimulation test helped target the insulinoma to specific areas of the pancreas, which standard imaging couldn't identify.
- * Results showed increased insulin levels in 5 patients post-test, confirming the presence of insulinomas or nesidioblastosis in several cases, while some patients were treated medically instead of surgically.

Nesidioblastosis, also known as persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, is usually observed in children and infants, although more recently adult-onset nesidioblastosis has also been described. We present a case of nesidioblastosis in a 78-year-old man that was detected by 111In-pentetreotide single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT/CT). The patient was transferred to our hospital's emergency department in a hypoglycemic coma.

- * Managing nesidioblastosis includes both medical and surgical options, but effective treatments are not well understood, and the situation is even more complicated for pregnant patients due to limited information available.
- * A case study of a 22-year-old pregnant woman experiencing severe hypoglycemia highlights the challenges in diagnosing and treating this condition, emphasizing the need for more research to improve clinical practices.
