ABSTRACT
Hypoglycemia is a common emergency, and is usually due to insulin therapy or oral hypoglycemic treatment in diabetic patients. In some cases, hypoglycemia can be a paraneoplastic sign. We report the case of a 61-year-old woman with a malignant peritoneal mesothelioma, who was admitted to hospital because of diminished consciousness. The final diagnosis was paraneoplastic hypoglycemia with a positive response to glucagon. The patient was finally discharged with glucagon perfusion.
