On workup, she was found to be hypoglycemic, with serum glucose values between 32 and 50 mg/dL. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a nodule arising from the corpus of the pancreas, which was slightly enhanced, measuring 1.0 cm in diameter.[enets.org]
The preoperative workup included triple-phase contrast islet cell protocol CT scan of abdomen, endoscopic ultrasound of pancreas, 72-hr fast, and calcium stimulated selective arteriography.[sages.org]
A 72-hour fast was performed, but the blood glucose level never fell below 2.8 mmol/L (50 mg/dL), and no further workup was attempted at that time.[jamanetwork.com]
