Abstract:
Pheochromocytoma is one of surgically curable hypertensive syndromes. The tumor is bilateral or extra-adrenal in 5% of cases in adults and in an even greater percentage in children and is most often familial. Herein we report two cases of pheochromocytoma, of which one is bilateral pheochromocytoma in a 20-year-old female and the other is left sided in a 27-year-old female.
