Abstract
Canine insulinoma is the neoplastic growth of the beta cells of the pancreas. in man 90% of the growths are found to be benign while in the dog reports say 69-81% of the growths are malignant (2,7). A malignant canine insulinoma denotes a functional neoplasm secreting excessive amounts of insulin or what some authors term inappropriate release of insulin.
