Pheochromocytoma was diagnosed in a male of 38 on the basis of severe and progressive hypertension associated with marked increases in urinary catecholamines and vanilmandelic acid. Left extra-adrenal topography was examined by tomography and confirmed by surgical treatment involving exeresis of the primary tumor and the metastatic latero-aortic lymph nodes, thus corroborating the diagnosis of malignancy. Complementary post-operative radiotherapy was performed on the abdomen. Eighty months later the patient is making good progress.

D010673 Pheochromocytoma A usually benign, well-encapsulated, lobular, vascular tumor of chromaffin tissue of the ADRENAL MEDULLA or sympathetic paraganglia. The cardinal symptom, reflecting the increased secretion of EPINEPHRINE and NOREPINEPHRINE, is HYPERTENSION, which may be persistent or intermittent. During severe attacks, there may be HEADACHE; SWEATING, palpitation, apprehension, TREMOR; PALLOR or FLUSHING of the face, NAUSEA and VOMITING, pain in the CHEST and ABDOMEN, and paresthesias of the extremities. The incidence of malignancy is as low as 5% but the pathologic distinction between benign and malignant pheochromocytomas is not clear.
