- Nesidioblastosis is a primarily childhood disease which is often associated with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. It is very rarely found in adults. Only a few well documented cases are found in the world interature. The authors have recently experienced a case of nesidioblastosis in an adult. A 55-year-old man was admitted due to repeated episodes of reversible loss of consciousness. Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia was documented. Under the presumptive diagnosis of insulinoma, localization procedures were done but no definite tumor was found. Only suspicious gradient in insulin concentration was found around the head of pancreas by percutaneous transhepatic portal venous sampling. Exploratory laparotomy was performed and Whipple's operation was done. Seventy percent of proximal pancreas was removed. Histomorphometric study of the resected specimen revealed uneven graded hyperplasia of the islet cells with the most profuse hyperplasia in the head region and progressive decrease in the degree of hyperplasia to the body and tail. The patient remains euglycemia until 6 months after operation since immediate postoperative period and can tolerate 24 hour fasting without any medication.

Abstract

- Primary lymphoma of the thyroid is a relatively rare malignant tumor of the thyroid. It is known to be frequently associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. In Korea, a few cases of primary lymphoma of the thyroid have been reported and most of these cases were in the stage I E or II E. Recently, we experienced a case of the primary thyroid lymphoma, stage IV E associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in a 70-year-old woman who presented with dysphagia and dyspnea due to rapidly enlarging neck mass.She was treated with combination chemotherapy(cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine and methylprednisolone) and local radiotherapy and achieved partial response with resolution of dysphagia and dyspnea.
