Insulinoma is a rare disease, which frequently causes hypoglycemic symptoms and signs or even shock. However, other diseases that produce similar symptoms and signs should firstly be ruled out. We describe a 63 years old male veteran who suffered from repeated episodes of seizure and conscious disturbance upon fasting, on and off for 8 years. Serial examinations led to the suspicion that this might be a case of insulinoma; the suspicion was later confirmed by pathologic examination after the tumor had been excised, and his problems disappeared. After six years, a follow-up examination showed that his condition was still stable.
