A 53-year-old non-diabetic man was admitted with hypoglycaemia, neuroglycopenic symptoms and acromegaloid facial swelling. Serum insulin concentration was suppressed, but the free concentration of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-II) was markedly elevated. CT scan demonstrated a large tumour in the liver. The histology showed a benign, solid, fibrous tumour. A hemihepatectomy was performed, and a 3.6 kg tumour was removed. Postoperatively, the blood glucose concentration and the concentration of free IGF-II returned to normal and the acromegaloid facial features disappeared.
