Abstract:
We present a case report of recurrent hypertension in a 43-year-old man 12 years after undergoing right adrenalectomy for phaeochromocytoma. Further investigations showed a tumour arising from the right paravertebral chain and raised urinary noradrenaline levels. Histological examination after surgical excision found the tumour to be a paraganglionic phaeochromocytoma.
