      CaseHPOFreeText: The proband had a cerebellar hemangioblastoma resected at age 17, retinal hemangioblastoma surgery at age 26, and an adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma at age 30. An abdominal CT revealed a 4cm abdominal mass and diffuse pancreatic cystic lesions, diagnosed as pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor.

    1. 2. Presentation of CaseA 17-year-old girl was referred to our department for the investigation of a newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus and a severe arterial hypertension. She was the first child of consanguineous parents. Her past medical history was unremarkable. Her family history was notable for type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia but no history of pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma, unexplained sudden death, or condition that may lead to thinking about VHL disease was reported.As symptoms, the patient complained of headaches, palpitations, diaphoresis, and hot flashes since one month. She reported also asthenia and body weight loss of five kilograms in two weeks.On examination, she had a body weight of 50 kg, a body height of 154 cm, a body mass index of 21.1 kg/m2, a blood pressure of 200/100 mmHg without orthostatic hypotension, a regular pulse of 120 bpm, and a large abdominal café-au-lait spot (Figure 1). Thyroid, abdominal, and neurological examinations were normal.Open in a separate windowFigure 1A large abdominal café-au-lait spot.Twenty-four-hour blood pressure monitoring confirmed the diagnosis of hypertension and the presence of peaks of 230/110 mmHg. Electrocardiogram showed a sinus tachycardia. Capillary glucose level was 2.68 g/l without ketosis.Fundoscopy showed grade 3 hypertensive retinopathy without any other abnormalities.The results of biological investigations are shown in Table 1.Table 1Biological parameters before and after surgery. Before surgeryAfter surgeryReference rangesFasting glucose level (mmol/l)16.394.784.12–5.55Glycated hemoglobin (%)10.125.91≤5.6Total cholesterol (mmol/l)11.835.233.1–5.18Triglycerides (mmol/l)2.431.210.57–1.71Natremia (mmol/l)135140135–145Kalemia (mmol/l)3.343.6–5Creatinine (mg/L)664–13Calcium (mg/L)111.29888–105Phosphate (mg/L)443627–45Albumin (g/l)47.22—35–52Intact PTH∗ (μg/L)1825411–62TSH (mUI/L)0.625—0.12–3.4FT4 (ng/dl)1.31—0.71–1.85Calcitonin (ng/L)2.70—<10.0024 h-urine NMN (μg/24)315057030–60024 h-urine MN (μg/24)40.21220–34524 h-urine sodium (mmol/24 h)88.5— 24 h-urine potassium (mmol/24 h)60— 24 h-urine calcium (mg/24 h)200— 24 h-proteinuria (g/24)0.3—<0.3Open in a separate windowPTH: parathormone, TSH: thyroid stimulating hormone, FT4: free-T4, NMN: normetanephrines, MN: metanephrines. ∗The intact PTH dosage was made using 3rd generation chemiluminescence immunoassay.The diagnosis of clinically suspected pheochromocytoma was confirmed by the dosage of urinary methoxylated derivatives at 5 times the upper limit of normal. In addition, the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and primary hyperparathyroidism were made.The abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed two adrenal masses: the first on the right measuring 35 × 55 × 70 mm with a spontaneous density of 30 HU heterogeneously enhanced in the arterial time showing areas of necrosis with an absolute washout of 40%, the second on the left measuring 24 × 27 mm with the same characteristics as the first one (Figure 2). There were neither other localizations nor lymph nodes. Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy exhibited a high accumulation of the tracer in both adrenal tumors with no other localization. Cervical ultrasound and 99mTc-sestamibi scintigraphy were normal. Cardiac ultrasound was normal.Open in a separate windowFigure 2Abdominal computed tomography showing the two adrenal masses (two white arrows).

      DiseaseAssertion: VHL

      FamilyInfo: Not relevant - She was the first child of consanguineous parents. Her family history was notable for type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia but no history of pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma, unexplained sudden death, or condition relevant to VHL. However, the family screening for VHL has not been performed.

      CaseHPOFreeText: First brought to clinic for newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus and severe arterial hypertension. As symptoms, the patient complained of headaches, palpitations, diaphoresis, and hot flashes since one month. She reported also asthenia and body weight loss of five kilograms in two weeks. Pheochromocytoma was confirmed. CT showed adrenal masses: Right measuring 35×55×70mm, and left measuring 24×27mm. She underwent a bilateral adrenalectomy in two steps. Pathological examination confirmed bilateral adrenal pheochromocytomas. 12 months post, follow up is clear.
