Abstract
A 41-year-old lady presented with classical symptoms of a phaeochromocytoma and markedly elevated urinary adrenaline concentration. Urinary fractionated metanephrine and normetanephrine concentrations were within the normal reference range. Computed tomography of the abdomen/pelvis and I(123) meta-iodobenzylguanidine scans were negative. Factitious adrenaline use was established as the diagnosis.Entities:
