Title translation | Acute abdomen from ruptured adrenal pheochromocytoma: case report. |
---|---|
Abstract | The pheochromocytoma is a very rare neoplasm, which originates in 98% of cases in the adrenal medulla; it is often bilateral in familial syndromes. It is more frequent in syndromes like MEN2, von Hippel-Lindau disease, and neuofribromatosis type 1. In this article the Authors report a case of a young woman with a large adrenal pheochromocytoma, that presented by an acute abdomen; the treatment was explorative laparotomy with unilateral adrenalectomy. Therapy of this tumour is founded on surgery, plus chemiotherapy radiotherapy or treatment with 131I-MIBG (iodine-131-metaiodobenzylguanidine in malignant cases (10%). According with the absence of a correlation between pathological findings and clinical behaviour, a long-term follow up is indispensable. |
