Incidental adult nesidioblastosis after distal pancreatectomy for endocrine microadenoma.
Persistent hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia (nesidioblastosis) presenting with hypoglycaemia is extremely rare in adults. The features are suggestive of an insulinoma with a vague presentation and delayed diagnosis. We describe a report of adult nesidioblastosis in association with a pancreatic endocrine microadenoma.
