Composite adrenal phaeochromocytoma-ganglioneuroma causing watery diarrhoea, hypokalaemia and achlorhydria syndrome

The watery diarrhoea, hypokalaemia and achlorhydria syndrome is a rare cause of secretory diarrhoea. In this case report, we highlight a young female with watery diarrhoea, hypokalaemia and achlorhydria syndrome as a consequence of a vasoactive intestinal peptide producing composite adrenal phaeochromocytoma-ganglioneuroma. She made a complete recovery after curative surgical resection. Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol 22:632-634 (C) 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
