Dig Dis Sci. 1995 Nov;40(11):2368-72. doi: 10.1007/BF02063239.

Abstract

Pancreatic insulinomas are rare tumors and their association with polycystic disease of the liver is uncommon. We report here a patient with pancreatic insulinoma with hepatic metastasis and biliary obstruction presenting with neuroglycopenic symptoms and cholestasis on a background of polycystic liver disease.
