Abstract

|
|
Between 1980 and 1991, we managed 12 cases of pheochromocytoma which consisted of 1 case of vesical pheochromocytoma, 1 case of malignant adrenal pheochromocytoma and 10 cases of benign adrenal pheochromocytoma including one case of bilateral
pheochromocytoma. There were 6 men and 6 women and their mean age was 47 ranging from 17 to 67. Eleven patients complained of hypertension and headache, and one symptom free patient and nonfunctioning vesical pheochromocytoma. After diagnosis,
various
surgical management were proceeded in 11 patients. However 1 patient who had bilateral tumor refused any operation. Mean duration of follow-up after operation was 40.5 months(ranging from 8 to 127). Ten surgically managed patients were alive
during
follow up but one died of malignant adrenal pheochromocytoma 9 months after operation. One patient who received nonsurgical treatment had hypertension and headache despite of continued medical therapy.
