Diagnosis of phaeochromocytoma after ingestion of imipramine

J Mok et al. Arch Dis Child. 1978 Aug.

Abstract

An 11-year-old twin girl was admitted to hospital with a 24-hour history of profuse sweating, tachycardia, and hypertension after a single dose of imipramine. She was subsequently found to have a right adrenal phaeochromocytoma. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of tumour provocation by imipramine.
