Abstract:
A 12 years old boy was admitted with chief complaint of fever, vomiting, sweating and comatose state. Blood pressure ranged 200/150mmHg, and various tests, including 24 hour urinary VMA, regitine test, abdominal aortography and CT scan, showed pheochromocytoma on the left adrenal gland. After successful surgical removal of the tumor, he has been free of symptoms afterward. And diagnosis of pheochromocytoma was confirmed by pathologic study of the removed tumor mass.
