Resumen

Los mareos son muy frecuentes en pacientes geriátricos, pero se trata de una clínica vaga y poco precisa que puede presentarse en muchas y variadas enfermedades. Presentamos un caso clínico de un paciente de 83 años con mareos como clínica inicial y posteriormente estudiado por hipoglucemias, al que se le descubrió un insulinoma maligno, muy poco habitual en estas edades. Se revisan la discusión, los procedimientos diagnósticos, el manejo y los tratamientos del insulinoma maligno.

Palabras clave:

Abstract

Dizziness is frequent in the elderly, but the symptom is vague and can be present in several diseases. We describe the case of an 83-year-old man who presented with dizziness. Investigation of subsequent hypoglycaemia revealed a malignant insulinoma. This entity is unusual in the elderly. We discuss the diagnostic procedures, management and treatment of malignant insulinoma.

Key words:

Malignant insulinoma

Dizziness

Insulinoma
