[Angiographic exploration of a case of a case of adrenal APUD adenoma secreting three hormones: VIP, catecholamines, and somatostatin (author's transl)].
An APUD adenoma of the right adrenal was discovered in an adult after angiography and compted tomography The tumor had provoked a WDHH syndrome. Selective venous sampling before operation demostrated the presence in the tumor of hormonal secretions (VIP and catecholamines). The patient recovered after excision of the tumor, which contained large quantities of intracellular somatostatin and VIP.
