Abstract
Five patients with lymphoma developed severe hypoglycemia in the terminal stages of the disease. There were several possible causes for the hypoglycemia in these patients, including severe liver disease, malabsorption, inanition and gastro‐intestinal ulceration. Characteristics were present which were similar to nonpancreatic tumors associated with hypoglycemia. The authors suggest that hypoglycemia may be more frequent than commonly is recognized and should be searched for in patients with lymphomatous disease.
