Hypoglycemia due to endogenous hyperinsulinism usually occurs in 2 pathological situations: the most frequent is insulinoma and, secondly, nesidioblastosis or also known as non-insulinoma pancreatic hypoglycemic syndrome. Nesidioblastosis is a rare cause of hyperinsulinic hypoglycemia in adults. We present the clinical case of an adult patient with recurrent hypoglycemia secondary to nesidioblastosis.
