- Abstract
- A 45-year-old woman was admitted with the diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). During the hospital course, fluctuation of blood pressure accompanying with headache and palpitation was noted.
The diagnosis of pheochromocytoma was proven by elevated urinary catecholamine and its metabolite, and confirmed histologically after right adrenalectomy. Mild glucose intolerance is known to be associated with pheochromocytoma in many cases. However, acute diabetic complication such as DKA has been reported in only 4 cases, mainly in Japanese. We think this is the first case of pheochromocytoma manifested DKA in Korea, so we report this with literature review.(Korean J Med 65:S844-S848, 2003)
