#4024 Management of unresectable insulinoma using cloud-based continuous glucose monitoring: A case report

#1101 Malignant Insulinoma in a Patient with Diabetes: Response to Treatment and a Return to Insulin Injections

Introduction: A 64 year old male with a fourteen year history of diabetes had been treated with insulin for eight years. Over a four week period he noticed that his insulin requirements were reducing and he experienced episodes of symptomatic hypoglycaemia and upper abdominal pain. Following referral a CT scan was performed which revealed numerous liver metastases and a 8.4 by 5.2 cm mass replacing the pancreas. Liver biopsy diagnosed a neuroendocrine tumour with a MIB-1 index of up to 18%. The tumour was somatostatin receptor positive as evidenced by an octreotide scan.
