An unsolved case from the endocrinologists at our hospital: A middelaged
female that for some years has suffered from attacks of flush and anexiety,
daily, in the morning. She has been treated for breast cancer a few years
ago. Urine dopamine has repeatedly been around 50.000 nmol/day (HPLC, our
reference < 2400 nmol/day), but occasionally normal, while urine
epinephrine and norepinephrine has been normal. Plasma dopamine has been
normal. Has anyone any suggestions?
With kind regards
