Özet

Feokromositoma ve paraganglioma çocuklarda oldukça ender görülen ve alışılmadık semptomlarla karşımıza çıkabilen bir tümördür. Burada, çok su içme, sık idrara çıkma, çok terleme, ellerinde-ayaklarında soğukluk ve morarma, göğüs ve karın ağrısı, kilo kaybı yakınmaları ile başvuran 4 yaşında erkek hasta sunulmaktadır. Kan basıncı izlemiyle hastada sürekli hipertansiyon saptanmıştır. Uygun preoperatif hazırlıktan sonra bilateral sürrenal tümörleri çıkartılan hasta halen asemptomatik olarak izlenmektedir. Bu olgu sunumunun amacı hastanın yaşı, semptomları ve bilateral sürrenal feokromositoma ile birlikte çok sayıda fonksiyon görmeyen paraganglioma saptanmasının feokromositoma için ender olduğunu vurgulamaktır.
