[Malignant pheochromocytoma. Apropos of a case report].
Pheochromocytoma was diagnosed in a male of 38 on the basis of severe and progressive hypertension associated with marked increases in urinary catecholamines and vanilmandelic acid. Left extra-adrenal topography was examined by tomography and confirmed by surgical treatment involving exeresis of the primary tumor and the metastatic latero-aortic lymph nodes, thus corroborating the diagnosis of malignancy. Complementary post-operative radiotherapy was performed on the abdomen. Eighty months later the patient is making good progress.
