AB Insulinomas  are  relatively  rare  tumors  of  the  endocrine  pancreas  that  cause  debilitating  and  even  life-threatening  symptoms.  Although  insulinomas  are  rare,  with  an  incidence  of  approximately  4  cases  per  1  million  person  years,  these  tumors  are  the  most  common  functional  islet  cell  tumors  of  the  pancreas.1,2  Increased  awareness  of  this  condition  and  advances  in  technology  over  the  last  several  decades  have  improved  the  diagnostic  accuracy  and  facilitated  treatment  planning.  Given  the  rare  incidence  of  insulinomas  and  the  potentially  misleading  clinical  presentation,  it  is  vital  for  the  physician  to  have  a  thorough  understanding  of  the  diagnosis  and  management  of  this  condition.
