Abstract
A patient presented with frequent episodes of spontaneous hypoglycaemia due to a disseminated neuroendocrine tumour with sarcomatous differentiation, secreting incompletely processed pro-insulin-like growth factor II (pro-IGF-II). Although the combination of GH and glucocorticoid therapy initially controlled the hypoglycaemia, there was a later escape necessitating frequent re-admissions to hospital. The patient deceased two weeks following her latest admission.
