Abstract:
The pheochromocytoma is a catecholamine-secreting tumor, localized in the adrenal gland in 90% of the cases and in extra-adrenal site in the remaining 10%. It can be single or associated with other endocrine neoplasms. On the basis of the case presented, the several clinical manifestations, the treatment of the disease and especially the recent development in imaging as MIBG, TAC, RNM are discussed.
