Abstract:
Composite phaeochromocytomas (CP) of the adrenal medulla are rare neuroendocrine tumours, comprising phaeochromocytoma and neurogenic components. They may present heterogeneously like ordinary phaeochromocytomas and are ideally managed surgically with a multidisciplinary approach. This report describes the case of a CP in Australia, which was cured by a surgical team in an unplanned two-staged left adrenalectomy over a 20-year period.
