Abstract
Insulinoma is a rare endocrine tumor of the pancreas. cause of organic hypoglycemia, and is life-threatening if left untreated; The diagnosis is made in the presence of more or less characteristic but non-specific symptoms. Confirmation of the diagnosis is biological. However, morphological exploration by means of computed tomography (CT) objectifies pancreatic insulinoma. Surgical treatment of the tumor ensures a cure, usually definitive in the case of benign tumors. Insulinoma remains a diagnostic challenge for health care practitioners. Nevertheless, thanks to an enhanced understanding of its clinical, biological, and histoprognostic characteristics, therapeutic options have advanced in recent years, notably through the development of laparoscopic surgery.
