We report on a case of malignant insulinoma occurring in a patient with genuine insulin‐dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). A review of cases concerning patients with diabetes mellitus and insulinomas is presented, and reveals only patients with non‐insulin‐dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Our case appears to be the first in showing the combination of IDDM and a functioning malignant insulinoma.
