| Abstrakt: | Objective: To describe a rare case of pheochromocytoma presenting with hypoglycemia. Methods: We describe a rare case of pheochromocytoma presenting with a hypoglycemic seizure. Our article includes our differentials, work up, and management. Results: Our patient had non-islet-cell tumor hypoglycemia that was non-insulin mediated, as noted by low insulin levels. His hypoglycemia was likely multifactorial and mediated by different mechanisms. We describe the rare case and review the causes of tumor-induced hypoglycemia. Conclusion: Pheochromocytomas can rarely present with hypoglycemia and are associated with a poor prognosis. (© 2020 AACE. Published by Elsevier Inc.) |
