Abstract
Insulinoma is a rare neoplasm with a poor prognosis and few cases of healing in the world literature. A seven-years-old Dachshund presented with a history of spasms of the legs, the laboratory tests it was found hypoglycemia and hyperinsulinemia, and the ultrasonography identified a pancreatic nodule. The clinical treatment had no effect and partial pancreatectomy was performed with resolution of the case. Therefore, veterinarians should be alert for this uncommon condition, in order to identify and treat early.
