Özet
Katekolamin salgılayan tümörler, hipertansiyonu olan hastaların yüzde 0,2’sinden daha azında görülen nadir neoplazilerdir. Feokromositomalar adrenal bezde görülen nadir neoplazilerken, dev feokromositomalar çok daha nadir görülmektedir. Bu vaka bildiriminde 38 yaşında 29x18x12 cm boyutlarında dev malign feokromositoma tespit edilen bir erkek hasta tanımlanmıştır. Hasta hematüri nedeni ile tetkik edilirken sağ adrenal bezinde insidental olarak kitle tespit edilmiştir. Türkiye’de tanımlanmış en büyük feokromositomalardan biri olarak bildiriminin önemli olabileceği düşünülmüştür.
