vipoma - rare pancreatic tumor
Definition for VIPoma
A VIPoma (also known as Verner Morrison syndrome, after the physicians who first described it ) is a rare (1 per 10'000'000 per year) endocrine tumor, usually (about 90%) originating in the pancreas, which produces vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP).
The massive amounts of VIP in turn cause profound and chronic watery diarrhea and resultant dehydration, hypokalemia, achlorhydria (hence WDHA-syndrome, or pancreatic cholera syndrome), vasodilation (flushing and hypotension), hypercalcemia and hyperglycemia.
