Insulinoma

Insulinoma is one of several pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNET) or islet cell tumors. These are rare tumors that start in your pancreas’ endocrine cells. They affect the endocrine cell that releases insulin, the hormone that keeps your blood sugar (blood glucose) levels from getting too high. More than 90% of insulinomas are benign tumors, meaning they don’t spread outside of your pancreas. Healthcare providers use surgery to remove insulinomas and cure the condition.
