Abstract

We report a case of a giant cystic pheochromocytoma in a 36 year old male. Preoperative diagnosis was made with metabol-ic evaluation and confirmed by histopathological examination after adrenalectomy. Cystic pheochromocytoma may present with atypical symptoms and other adrenal cysts may cause elevations in blood pressure as well. Radiological findings are often inconclusive and metabolic work up is mandatory for definite diagnosis of all cystic lesions of the adrenal gland.

Özet

Otuz altı yaşında bir erkek hastada dev kistik feokromositoma olgusu sunulmuştur. Tanı ameliyat öncesi metabolik değerlendirme ile konulmuş ve adrenalektomi sonrasında histopatolojik inceleme ile kesinleşmiştir. Kistik feokromositoma atipik semptomlara yol açabileceği gibi, adrenal bezlerin diğer kistleri de kan basıncında yükselmelere yol açabilir. Radyolojik bulgular genellikle kesin tanı için yeterli olmaz ve adrenal bezlere ait tüm kistlerde metabolik değerlendirme şarttır.
