What causes insulinoma?

Every person’s situation is different, so researchers may not know the specific cause every time someone develops insulinoma. But insulinoma is associated with the following syndromes and conditions: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1): This is an inherited condition that affects your endocrine glands and your duodenum. Your duodenum is the first part of your small intestine. Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome: This is an inherited condition that causes tumors throughout your body. Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1): This condition affects your skin and nervous system. Tuberous sclerosis complex (TCS): This is an inherited condition that may cause epilepsy, tumors (usually benign) and skin growths.
