Excessive Sweating in an Apparently Normal Teenager

Excessive sweating is a common complaint in pediatrics. In most cases it is normal, but may occasionally be a manifestation of an underlying disorder. We recently encountered an apparently normal teenager who sweated most dramatically.

S.M., a 12-year-old girl, presented with the complaint of excessive sweating. This had started three years previously in Virginia, but had worsened in Hawaii. The sweating was constant, independent of activity or anxiety level, and was sufficient to form a small puddle around the feet after some 30 minutes.
