An 81-year-old woman presented with frequent episodes of hypoglycemia. Her serum level of insulin was normal, but her serum insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-II level was high. She was found to have a spindle cell sarcoma originated from the mesentery of the sigmoid colon, which was completely resected. Postoperatively, hypoglycemia ameliorated with concomitant reduction in serum IGF-II levels. Immunohistochemical study revealed positive immunostaining for IGF-II in tumor cells, and the abundant expression of IGF-II mRNA was demonstrated by RT-PCR. The presence of high molecular weight (HMW) form IGF-II in patient's serum was confirmed by immunoblotting. This is the first report of a patient with HMW form IGF-II-producing mesenteric sarcoma causing hypoglycemia.
