We report a 34-year-old woman with secondary hypertension
diagnosed with a left-sided phaeochromocytoma. Excision of the tumour resulted in recurrent hypoglycaemia up to 6 days post-operatively. We discuss the pathogenesis of hypoglycaemia following removal of the
tumour and put forward hypothesis for the recurrent hypoglycaemia.
Keywords: phaeochromocytoma; hypoglycaemia
