Abstract
Non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia is an uncommon paraneoplastic phenomenon commonly associated with tumors of mesenchymal origin like gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). It causes the release of insulin-like growth factor type II. GIST are frequently asymptomatic but can present with vague symptoms such as gastrointestinal bleeding, gastric pain, anorexia, nausea, and vomiting. We present an interesting case of A 62-year-old male with GIST tumor admitted for refractory hypoglycemia found to have non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia which is a relatively uncommon cause of hypoglycemia.
