Zusammenfassung:Insulinomas are uncommon neuroendocrine tumors and metastatic disease is extremely rare. We report a patient with metastatic insulinoma associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 presenting with hypoglycemia following sleeve gastrectomy. Potential causes of hypoglycemia include dumping syndrome, noninsulinoma pancreatogenous hypoglycemia syndrome, and rarely insulinoma. MEN1‐associated insulinomas have a higher recurrence rate. Hypoglycemia predominantly in the fasting state, worsening shortly after bariatric surgery, or refractory to dietary or medical management should be further evaluated to exclude insulinoma. Consider MEN1 in the differential since it impacts prognosis.
