Non-islet cell tumour-induced hypoglycaemia (NICTH) is rare, with few cases reported in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST).
METHODS
A 63-year-old Chinese female with known metastatic GIST presents with persistent hypoglycaemia. Investigations revealed a likely diagnosis of NICTH, and she underwent debulking surgery. There was complete resolution of her hypoglycaemia post-operatively
CONCLUSIONS
NICTH should be considered in patients with GIST and hypoglycaemia. Surgical debulking is recommended as part of the management of NICTH.
