Patient 3 A 15-year-old man with a history of occipital headache, slightly elevated blood pressure with normal ophthalmological examination for 2 months was found to have a 4-cm-diameter left adrenal mass at MRI, being the abdominal sonography negative. Medical history was negative except for mild asthma, not necessitating medical treatment. The mass showed inhomogeneous density: hypodensity in T1 and hyperdensity in T2 and after Gadolinium contrast. A 123I-MIBG scintigraphy showed a high tracer uptake in left adrenal gland. Immunometric assays indicated high levels of CgA, 73 UI/L NR 2–18) and catecholamines: noradrenaline levels were 11·775 nmol/day (NR: 90–470), and adrenaline and dopamine levels were in the normal range. The patient underwent surgical removal of the mass, which was 4 × 5 × 4 cm in size. Immunohistochemical assays indicated that the tumour was positive for chromogranin A compatible with a diagnosis of PHEO. Follow-up 4 months after surgery (April 2011) showed normal values for chromogranin A, blood pressure and negative MRI. Family history was negative for hypertension, PHEO or other neuroendocrine tumours.
