Recurrence of Pheochromocytoma With Metastases After Resection of Primary Tumor

Copyright © 2020, Venugopal et al..

Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas are rare tumors that arise from the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla or sympathetic paravertebral ganglia, respectively. Long-term surveillance is recommended regardless of the thoroughness of surgical resection. Here, we present a patient who was diagnosed with pheochromocytoma who underwent right adrenalectomy and was lost to follow up. She presented 15 years later with recurrence and was found to have multiple metastases. Subsequent genetic testing was also negative.
