Non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia is a condition in which a tumor secretes hormones into the bloodstream that cause hypoglycemia. The is most commonly insulin-like growth factor 2, which stimulates insulin receptors to uptake glucose into cells.

Many types of non-islet cell tumors can cause this phenomenon, but not all act through the same mechanism. Rarely, non-islet tumors can secrete IGF-1 or insulin.{{cite web |title=UpToDate |url=https://www.uptodate.com/contents/nonislet-cell-tumor-hypoglycemia |website=www.uptodate.com |accessdate=22 April 2019}}
