Metachronous Pheochromocytoma in urinary bladder and adrenal
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas are chromaffin cell tumours that embryonically derive from the neural crest and functionally they produce store and secrete catecholamines. While pheochromocytoma arises from the adrenal medulla, paraganglioma develop from both sympathetic and parasympathetic paraganglia. Synchronous or matachronous presentation of paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma are very rare. Here we report a case of 32-years -old male with multifocal functional paraganglioma of urinary bladder followed by pheochromocytoma of right adrenal seventeen years later which were surgically removed with successful outcome. Keywords: pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma, chromaffin cell.
