Localized Pleural Mesothelioma With Elevation of High Molecular Weight Insulin-like Growth Factor II and Hypoglycemia
1994
Recurrent hypoglycemia occurred in a 48-year-old woman with a localized pleural mesothelioma. During hypoglycemia, serum high molecular weight insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) was elevated. The tumor also contained a high level of high molecular weight IGF-II. We propose that the primary cause of the hypoglycemia in this patient was the high molecular weight IGF-II produced by the tumor.
