Islet hyperplasia in adults: challenge to preoperatively diagnose non-insulinoma pancreatogenic hypoglycemia syndrome.
2006
Background
Pancreatic hyperfunctional islet hyperplasia in adults has been more and more frequently described in the literature. Postprandial neuroglycopenia, a negative normal fasting test, negative pancreatic imaging results, and positive intra-arterial calcium stimulation of serum insulin are characteristic. In affected patients the term non-insulinoma pancreatogenic hypoglycemia syndrome (NIPHS) was proposed.
