Abstract
|
|
|
Pheochromocytomas can arise wherever chromaffin cells are found, and most of them (90%) are in one or both adrenal glands. But they may be located anywhere along the sympathetic chain and rarely in aberrant sites. One of the common extra-adrenal
sites
from which these tumors can arise is a collection of para-aortic and para-ganglion cells around the origin of the inferior mesenteric artery.
We experienced a case of extra-adrenal pheochromocytomal located at the organ of Zukerkandl in a 21-year-old female patient with abdominal colic and paroxysmal hypertension, whose symptoms and blood pressure returned to normal after successful
surgical
excision of the tumor.
