Historical Perspective

Discovery

  • In 1869, Paul Langerhans first described pancreatic islet cells, when he was still a medical student.
  • In 1902, Nicholls discovered the first adenoma of pancreatic islets.[1]
  • In 1922, Frederick Banting and Charles Best were the first to discover insulin from a dog’s pancreas.
  • In 1926, Wilder-et-al associated hyperinsulinism and functional islet tumor after a surgery on a person who had hypoglycemia and found an islet cell cancer with liver metastasis.[2]
  • In 1927, William J Mayo was the first to discover the association between hyperinsulinism and a functional pancreatic islet cell tumor. In 1927 the insulinoma was first described in Mayo clinic which was dissected in 1929 in Toronto.[1]
  • In 1929, the first surgical cure was performed by Roscoe Graham.[3]
