Recurrent insulinoma during pregnancy

Abstract

Pancreatic insulinomas are rare tumors that primarily affect women and should be considered in cases of hypoglycemia during the first trimester of pregnancy. Laparoscopic surgery is the preferred treatment option during the second trimester of fetal development.
We report the case of a 24-year-old woman who underwent laparoscopic enucleation of a pancreatic insulinoma and presented with recurrence 15 months later during the second trimester of pregnancy.
It was also managed with laparoscopic enucleation in the second trimester, with resolution of the clinical picture
