GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Insulinomas are tumors in your pancreas. They make extra insulin, more than your body can use. Insulinomas can cause hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar. Low blood sugar can cause confusion, sweating, weakness, and a rapid heartbeat.

Detailed explanation-2: -These are rare tumors that start in your pancreas’ endocrine cells. They affect the endocrine cell that releases insulin, the hormone that keeps your blood sugar (blood glucose) levels from getting too high. More than 90% of insulinomas are benign tumors, meaning they don’t spread outside of your pancreas.

Detailed explanation-3: -An insulinoma is a rare pancreatic beta-cell tumor that hypersecretes insulin. The main symptom is fasting hypoglycemia. Diagnosis is by a 48-or 72-hour fast with measurement of glucose and insulin levels, followed by endoscopic ultrasound. Treatment is surgery when possible.
