OBJECTIVE: Fasting hypoglycemia may occur in subjects with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) when accompanied with insulin-binding antibodies or insulin-receptor antibodies. However, insulinoma has not been reported in SLE subjects with hypoglycemia. METHODS: We present a case report and review the relevant literature. RESULTS: A 26-year-old female with underlying SLE experienced several episodes of neuropsychiatric symptoms in a fasting state. The steroid dosage was titrated up, but in vain. Timely imaging studies showed a pancreatic tumor, and insulinoma was proven by pathology. Hypoglycemia did not recur after surgery. CONCLUSION: Physicians should distinguish insulinoma from autoimmunity-mediated hypoglycemia in SLE patients with fasting hypoglycemia.
