title: Hyperinsulinism associated with primary renal cell carcinoma.
abstract: A case is reported of a patient with symptomatic hyperinsulinism associated initially with a renal cell carcinoma and then later, with secondary deposits from the same tumor. Evidence points to a strong possibility of renal tumor involvement in the production of insulin hypersecretion.
