Brief description/objective

We describe the case of a 19-years old patient with seizure due to severe hypoglycaemia during general practitioner consultation. Because of hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia and suspected liver metastasis a neuroendocrine hormone active tumor was suspected. After liver biopsy and CT scan a neuroendocrine pancreatic tumor could be diagnosed. Afterwards oncological therapy was induced.
