Journal Title: The Journal of Pediatric Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Pheochromocytomas are neuroendocrine tumors. In this report, we present a 15-year-old girl who had cerebral palsy and pheochromocytoma. She also had a diagnosis of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in her history. She underwent bilateral laparoscopic cortical sparing adrenalectomy. We report the experience of laparoscopic bilateral cortical sparing adrenalectomy of a pediatric pheochromocytoma.
