Abstract

Pheochromocytoma is a tumor of the chromaffin cells which secretes catecholamines and 90% of it originates from adrenal medulla. The main symptoms and signs are hypertension, tachycardia, sweating and headache. Rarely, acute abdomen may occur as a result of the rupture of tumoral mass or bleeding inside the mass. Here we present a 43 year old male patient who applied with acute abdominal syndrome and severe hypertension. Abdominal MRI showed a large mass hemorrhagic in nature above the right kidney. At laparotomy, ruptured adrenal mass was seen and excised successfully. The histological evaluation confirmed the diagnosis as pheochromocytoma. Ruptured adrenal pheochromocytoma is a mortal situation potentially and it should be considered in patients who present with an acute obdominal syndrome and hypertension or shock. It should be known that early diagnosis and surgey with proper preoperative treatment is a life saver.

Özet

Feokromositoma katekolamin sentezleyen kromaffin hücrelerden orjin alan, %90�ı adrenal medulla kaynaklı bir tümördür. Başlıca belirti ve bulguları hipertansiyon, taşikardi, terleme ve başağrısıdır. Nadiren tümör içine kanama veya kitlenin rüptürü sonucu akut batın gelişebilmektedir. 43 yaşında erkek hasta akut batın sendromu ve ciddi hipertansiyon ile başvurdu. Abdomen magnetik rezonans görüntülemesinde sağ böbreğin prosimalinde hemorajik kitle saptandı. Laparotomide sağ adrenal kitle görüldü ve başarıyla eksize edildi. Histolojik incelemede feokromositoma tanısı doğrulandı. Rüptüre adrenal feokromositoma potansiyel olarak mortal bir durumdur ve akut batın sendromuna eşlik eden hipertansiyon veya şok kliniğiyle başvuran hastalarda düşünülmelidir. Erken tanı ve uygun preoperatif tedaviyle beraber uygulanan cerrahinin hayat kurtarıcı olduğu bilinmelidir.
