New aspects have emerged in the clinical and diagnostic scenarios of insulinoma: current guidelines have lowered the diagnostic insulin threshold to 3 μU/ml in the presence of hypoglycemia (<55 mg/dl); post-prandial hypoglycemia has been reported as the only presenting symptom; preexisting diabetes mellitus (DM) was recognized in some patients.
