A 15-year old, neutered female, domestic shorthaired cat was presented for evaluation of a 3-month history of paroxysmal falling over and trembling. In laboratory work the cat displayed a mild hypoglycemia. Ultrasound revealed a nodule in the left pancreatic lobe and surgical excision was performed. The histological diagnosis was an insulinoma. To the authors knowledge this is the first ultrasound description of an insulinoma in a cat. Up to date the cat has a survival time of 32 months without recurrence of symptoms.
