High molecular weight form insulin-like growth factor II-producing mesenteric sarcoma causing hypoglycemia.
An 81-year-old woman presented with frequent episodes of hypoglycemia. Her serum level of insulin was normal, but her serum insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-II level was high. She was found to have a spindle cell sarcoma originated from the mesentery of the sigmoid colon, which was completely resected. Postoperatively, hypoglycemia ameliorated with concomitant reduction in serum IGF-II levels. Immunohistochemical study revealed positive immunostaining for IGF-II in tumor cells, and the abundant expression of IGF-II mRNA was demonstrated by RT-PCR. The presence of high molecular weight (HMW) form IGF-II in patient's serum was confirmed by immunoblotting. This is the first report of a patient with HMW form IGF-II-producing mesenteric sarcoma causing hypoglycemia.

A crescent-shaped sparing proximal to a liver tumor may indicate underlying portal tumor thrombus.
A primary or metastatic liver tumor sometimes blocks portal venous flow and causes a focal sparing in the fatty liver. We herein report a case of segmental sparing due to the portal tumor thrombus extending from the metastatic liver tumor. The present case demonstrates characteristic computer-associated tomographic findings, a distal oval hypodense tumor with proximal "crescent-shaped sparing", which may indicate underlying portal tumor thrombus at the apex of the sparing.
