Insulinoma in a 94-year-old woman: long-term therapy with verapamil.

J S Ulbrecht, R Schmeltz, J H Aarons, D A Greene.   

Abstract

Several drugs can be used to control hypoglycemia caused by insulin-secreting pancreatic tumors but none are reliably efficacious or free of side effects. We report the case of a woman with an insulinoma who refused surgical intervention and was successfully treated with the Ca2+-channel blocker verapamil.
