Abstract:
Fourteen cases of pheochromocytoma diagnosed by B-tnode ultrasound were reported. All of them the diagnoses were confirmed by operation and pathology. Three tumors crose in right and 5 in left and 4 in bilateral adrenal glands; two were extraadrenal. The ultrasonographic features of pheochromocytoma and its differential diagnosis were discussed. The ultrasonic diagnosis of extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma is objectively assessed; it has significant importance especially in the surgical resection of the tumor.
