Non-Islet Cell Tumor Hypoglycemia Secondary to a 20 cm Intra-Abdominal Leiomyoma in a Male Patient: A Case Report and Literature Review
Non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia (NICTH) is a rare clinical entity associated with large mesenchymal tumors. Its pathogenesis is most commonly mediated by tumor overproduction of “big” insulin-like growth factor-2. Here, we present a 54-year-old male who presented with noninsulin-mediated hypoglyce...

| description | Non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia (NICTH) is a rare clinical entity associated with large mesenchymal tumors. Its pathogenesis is most commonly mediated by tumor overproduction of “big” insulin-like growth factor-2. Here, we present a 54-year-old male who presented with noninsulin-mediated hypoglycemia and a 20 cm intra-abdominal leiomyoma. His hypoglycemic episodes resolved after the resection of his tumor. To our knowledge, this is the only documented case in the English literature of NICTH associated with leiomyoma in a male patient. NICTH due to a benign leiomyoma should be in the differential diagnosis for any patient with hypoglycemia and an abdominal mass. |
