Abstract

Insulinoma is the most common cause of endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in adults. However, the coincidence of insulinoma and diabetes is extremely uncommon. We describe a rare, but very interesting case of diabetes mellitus which was masked by insulinoma and was overtly manifest after the removal of the insulinoma.
