Analysis on misdiagnosis of insulinoma / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

Retrospectively from February, 2006 to June, 2009 the clinical characteristics of 14 misdiagnosed cases of insulinoma in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were analysed. The rate of misdiagnosis was 38% ( 14/37). The rate of IRI/G≤0. 3 was 33%. Insulinoma has often been misdiagnosised when IRI/G≤0. 3. Hence a diagnosis of insulinoma can not be excluded with this IRI/G rate.
