Abstract:
The case of a 77-year-old woman who was admitted with resistant arterial hypertension is reported. In view of a history of pheochromocytoma 2 years ago, catecholamine levels were examined and found to be elevated; in addition, MIBG scintigraphy showed a positive area in the anterior mediastinum. Computer tomography showed a tumor in the sternum. Histology confirmed metastasis from the pheochromocytoma, and the corpus was removed surgically. Currently, the patient is without any evidence of relapse.
