Overview
- Ultrasound, Computed tomography and MRI can differentiate between insulinoma and islet-cell hypertrophy.

- Hypoglycemia caused by endogenous insulin the differential diagnosis includes insulinoma and islet-cell hypertrophy.
- Ultrasound, Computed tomography and MRI can differentiate between both.[1]
- A negative imaging study does not exclude insulinoma and patient needs more tests.
