ABSTRACT
Nesidioblastosis is a term that describes the prolonged differentiation of islets of Langerhan's cells from the epithelium of the pancreatic duct. Nesidioblastosis is a primarily childhood disease, which is often associated with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, but rarely found in adults. A 62-year-old man with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia complained of general weakness and mental change while fasting. Abdominopelvic CT, celiac angiography, intra-arterial calcium stimulation test and endoscopic ultrasonography did not reveal any tumor in the pancreas. A subtotal pancreatectomy (nearly 80% of pancreas was removed) was then carried out. He was diagnosed with nesidioblastosis inform the pathology after the operation. Herein, our experience of a 62-year-old Nesidioblastosis patient is reported.
