Abstract
Two cases, one of leukemia and one of a trophoblastic testicular teratoma, are described in which hypoglycemia occurred as a terminal event. The rarity of this association with these types of malignancy, together with possible mechanism, is discussed in a brief review of the literature.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
