| Abstract |
|
We experienced two cases of pheochromocytoma in 10 year-old boy and girl. Boy had bilateral and
girl had unilateral pheochromocytoma. Both patients who were severely retarded in height growth
had hypertension and one patient had cardiomyopathy. In both patients, vanillylmandelic acid in
urine was increased, and phentolamine test was positive. Adrenal mass was visualized by C.T. in each ease.
Successful surgical removal was done, and both patients have been in normal B.P. till now without
subjective symptoms. The authors stress that short stature is one of the characteristic physical
findings if pheochromocytoma in early childhood.
