After a search and piecing it together- It was nesidioblastoma indeed.!!.A form of adenomatous hyperplasia of the islet of langherhans at the sulphonylurea receptor. If Im not mistaken the pathologist may have called it astroblastoma? Either way its known as a PHHI Persisitant hyperinsulin, hypoglycemia of infancy that can occur in adults.

Thank you to everyone!!


Addendum: it only sounded like astroblastoma.
