This division described a unique case of a patient with different presentation of malignant insulinoma. The patient bestowed with right superior quadrant intestinal pain and diarrhea for 3 weeks that have worsened in the last 4- days. Also the patient had scenes of confusion in the last one period. His blood glucose was never inspected at that time.The patient acted not have the classical performance of Insulinoma with the Whipple’s trio- measured abstaining blood glucose less than 50 mg/dl, syndromes of hypoglycemia at the time of depressed plasma level of glucose in blood and immediate free of the symptoms later the administration of intravenous hydrogen. The diarrhea is not a common feature of Insulinoma although commonly happens in additional neuroendocrine tumors like gastrinoma, VIP secreting neuroendocrine tumors, glucagonoma etc.CT of the abdomen that was done because of the patient manifestations revealed 6sm bulk in the tail of the pancreas, accompanying thrombosis of the splenic mood and multiple change of the pancreatic mass to the liver.Our initial though was that the patient has metastatic adenocarcinoma of the organ meat.The endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) of the pancreas was accomplished fine needle hope of the pancreatic mass that showed the demeanor of the neuroendocrine tumor.During whole up of the pancreatic mass we performed 72- moment fasting test that revealed reduced plasma level of glucose in blood less than 55 mg/dl, raised at that time C- peptide, pro-insulin and Insulin levels and negative protect for sulfonylureas medications or glinides. Anti- insulin microscopic organism test was negative as well as Pro- IGF-2. Injection of Glucagon 1 mg intravenously allow to increment of the level of glucose in blood more than 25 mg/dl in 30 notes of meeting. Beta-hydroxybutyrate level was less than 2.7 nmol/l. All this pointed out towards inner hyperinsulinemia in the context of the performance due to pancreatic insulinoma.This in addition to the EUS and radiological results suggested the occupancy of malignant insulinoma.Thereafter the surgical group was consulted. They acted exploratory laparotomy with distal pancreatectomy, splenectomy, cholecystectomy, and appendectomy and medical checkup of the liver lesions and spleen. Surgical study of plants specimen of the hate and liver was consistent accompanying a well-differentiated neuroendocrine cyst similar to that from the pancreatic lesion.The patient was medicated with surgical redistribute of the distal pancreas when the insulinoma was situated, splenectomy, cholecystectomy and appendectomy. Also, chemoembolization and bland embolization of the metastatic tumors of the liver were finished and patient’s hypoglycemia was treated accompanying Diazoxide and short course of Steroids and Octreotide.We are describing this patient to emphasize the need of broad characteristic diagnosis of the pancreatic lesions giving only with intestinal pain, diarrhea and sporadic confusion outside any measurement of the level of glucose in blood.What looked like chaste metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas equipped to be nonconforming presentation of individual of the Neuroendocrine tumors- Insulinoma. Also only 10% of Insulinomas are malignant that was the case with our patient.We implemented complex complex linked approach in the treatment - surgical redistribute of the pancreatic lesion by distal pancreatectomy in addition to bland and Chemoembolization of the change to the liver. Also, we controlled the level of glucose in blood by using Diazoxide, Prednisone and Octreotide with good results custody the blood sugar in common ranges by long term use of diazoxide.
