Background Non-islet cell tumour hypoglycaemia (NICTH) is a rare complication of malignancy. Although the exact incidence of NICTH is unknown, it is estimated to be about 1/4th of the incidence of insulinoma, but is probably underestimated

Background Hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia (HH) from dysregulated insulin secretion of the pancreatic β-cells is an important cause of persistent neonatal hypoglycaemia. Mutations have been reported in the ABCC8 and KCNJ11 genes on

Background Hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia (HH) is the most frequent cause of severe and persistent hypoglycaemia in infants and children ( 1 ). It is characterised by inappropriate secretion of insulin in the presence of low blood glucose (BG

Background Insulin autoimmune syndrome (IAS), also known as Hirata’s disease, is a rare autoimmune disorder characterised by hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia associated with high titres of antibodies to endogenous insulin, in the absence of

(2) and 10–15% of insulinomas (1) may have widespread metastases at diagnosis. Symptomatic hypoglycaemia may be very difficult to control in malignant insulinoma. We report a case of recurrent inoperable metastatic pNET co-secreting both insulin

Background Hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia of infancy (HHI) is the most frequent cause of persistent neonatal hypoglycaemia and hypoglycaemia in infancy and is caused by dysregulation in insulin secretion. Molecular bases are known in 50

Background Congenital hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia (CHI) is the most common cause of persistent severe hypoglycaemia presenting in the neonatal period ( 1 ). The underlying cause of hyperinsulinism and the presence of diffuse or focal

Background Insulin autoimmune syndrome (IAS or Hirata's disease) is a common cause of hypoglycaemia and mild insulin resistance that has most frequently been described in Japan, but is very rare within the Caucasian population (1) . In this
