insulinoma

[in″su-lin-o´mah] a tumor of the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans; although usually benign, it is one of the chief causes of hypoglycemia.

in·su·li·no·ma

(in'sŭ-li-nō'mă), An islet cell adenoma that secretes insulin.

insulinoma

A well-differentiated pancreatic endocrine neoplasm associated with Whipple's triad:
(1) Symptoms and signs of hypoglycaemia;
(2) Concomitant plasma glucose level of 45 mg/dL or less; and
(3) Symptoms reverse with the administration of glucose. Amyloid is often found in insulinomas.
Prognosis
Insulinomas, especially if small, have an excellent prognosis.

insulinoma

Insuloma Oncology A pancreatic islet cell tumor, which is characterized by overproduction of insulin, resulting in hypoglycemia of sufficient severity to trigger a coma; insulinomas are typical of MEN I. See MEN I.

in·su·li·no·ma

(in'sŭ-li-nō'mă) An islet cell adenoma that secretes insulin.
Synonym(s): insuloma.

insulinoma

A rare tumour of the INSULIN -producing cells of the PANCREAS. Insulinomas can produce large quantities of insulin and lead to the dangerous condition of HYPOGLYCAEMIA.
