Objective: To review the causes of nonpancreatic tumor-associated hypoglycemia and report the first case of hypoglycemia attributable to a leiomyosarcoma, which did not cause hypoglycemia in its primary site but only after metastasizing.
Methods: A case report is presented of a 62-year-old man with a gastric leiomyosarcoma diagnosed and surgically treated 8 years previously, who was found to have 14 large, rounded masses in his liver and a blood glucose level of 19 mg/dL. Biopsy of the largest mass revealed a leiomyosarcoma.
