• We analyzed the medical records of 78 patients with NICTH (M/F 44/34, age 62 ± 1.8, range; 9–86 years.) whose serum contained a large amount of big IGF-II.

• Hepatocellular carcinoma and gastric carcinoma were the most common causes of NICTH.
• The diameters of the tumors were more than 10 cm in 70% of the patients.
• Hypoglycemic attack was the onset of disease in 31 of 65 cases (48%).
• Twenty-five of 47 (53%) patients had decreased serum potassium levels.
