Insulinomas often follow a “90% rule”: 90% are benign [1, 2], 90% originate in the pancreas, 90% are approximately 2 cm wide, and 90% are isolated. Individuals with an insulinoma may have episodic bouts of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. Typically, an insulinoma is indicated by hypoglycemic symptoms which are a result of catecholamine reaction and neuroglycopenia. There is increased secretion of insulin in patients with an insulinoma despite having lower glucose levels.</p><h3>Purpose</h3><p>This paper examines the myth of Erysichthon and speculates whether the symptoms experienced by him are possibly related to those found in patients with an hyperinsulinoma.</p><h3>Methods</h3><p>The myth of Erysichthon was taken from various sources (i.e. Hesiod, Callimachus, Ovid) and examined. Symptoms of Erysichthon were then examined.</p><h3>Results</h3><p>The myth of Erysichthon depicts various sympathoadrenal and neuroglycopenic symptoms including anxiety and abnormal behaviour which can be found in insulinomas. Insulinomas may often present a diagnostic challenge due to their deceptive nature and overlapping symptoms with other disorders such as neurologic disease. Insulinomas inducing weight loss resemble Calamachus’s account of Erysichthon whose body is finally emaciated, even though having polyphagia.</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>The myth of Erysichthon provides an interesting range of clinical symptoms which I have argued relate to symptoms found in patients with an insulinoma. Although, insulinomas were unknown in ancient medical lore, this paper has speculated that based on Erysichthon’s symptoms, the possibility of an insulinoma cannot be ruled out.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":6921,"journal":{"name":"Acta Diabetologica","volume":"60 9","pages":"1279 - 1282"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00592-023-02108-w.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9967606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The awarding of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in October 1923 has represented a frame of reference.
