Diarrhea in a patient with pancreatic cholera syndrome caused by a vasoactive intestinal polypeptide producing pancreatic islet-cell carcinoma responded rapidly and dramatically to the phenothiazine trifluoperazine. Treatment with intravenous somatostatin decreased the plasma vasoactive intestinal polypeptide level without changing the diarrhea. The chemotherapeutic agent chlorozotocin, the 2-chloroethyl analogue of streptozocin, caused a decrease in plasma vasoactive intestinal polypeptide but caused significant renal toxicity with proteinuria.
