ABSTRACT Pathologically elevated vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) plasma levels cause secretory diarrhea with excessive loss of water and electrolyte and is characterized by the typical symptoms of hypokalemia and metabolic acidosis. It rarely occurs in patients with non-pancreatic disease. Despite the clinical severity, diagnosis of a VIP-secreting tumor is often delayed. We herein present a 14-month-old boy having prolonged therapy-resistant secretory diarrhea, persistent hypokalemia with tissue diagnosis of ganglioneuroblastoma and raised plasma VIP-levels.
