Recurrent pheochromocytoma associated with glucagonoma. A case report.
We treated a hypertensive patient with recurrent pheochromocytoma (paraganglioma) associated with glucagonoma. No clinical symptom of glucagonoma was found and it could be detected only by a slight elevation of plasma immunoreactive glucagon (IRG) while the extirpated pancreatic tumor contained much IRG. This case could not be classified as either multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type I or type II.
