| Abstract |
|
The Pheochromocytoma is a rare tumor of childhood and can arise from chromaffin tissue
anywhere in the body. Most commonly it is located in the adrenal medulla, especially on the right
side. We experienced a case of pheochromocytoma in a 14 year old boy, who had paroxysmal
palpitation, perspiration, dyspnea and contemporary paroxysmal hypertension.
Diagnosis was made by clinical features, elevated plasma catecholamine concentration, elevated
urinary catecholamine metabolites concentration in 24 hrs, abdominal CT scan and pathological
finding after surgical removal.
Followed plasma and urinary catecholamine study after 2 weeks postoperatively showed normal
value. The case was presented with briefreview of literatures. |
