Intrarenal Pheochromocytoma: Report of a Case

Abstract: To our knowledge the first case of an intrarenal pheochromocytoma is reported. It is important to realize that an intrarenal or apparent intrarenal mass in a hypertensive patient might be a pheochromocytoma so that appropriate precautions can be taken.

“…Hereditary paragangliomas (PGL) have also been associated with germline mutations of the genes that encode three of the four subunits of mitochondrial complex II, succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) B, C, and D. 1 When such tumours occur in extra-adrenal sites, their diagnosis can be challenging; for example, to date there are only three reported cases of intrarenal pheochromocytoma. [2][3][4] We conducted a study of gene expression profiles of kidney tumours using a cDNA microarray technique. These gene expression profiles can serve as the molecular signatures of particular tumours, and different groups of genes may correlate with the behaviour of the tumours (for example, invasiveness, angiogenesis), clinical outcome, and drug response.…”

“…(2) An accessory adrenal gland phaeochromocytoma is extremely rare in a MEN-2A case, with only three such case reports in literature. (4,5) Accessory adrenal glands can be the cellular basis for phaeochromocytoma, and it is therefore important to emphasise continual follow-up for phaeochromocytoma in subjects with MEN-2A, even after bilateral adrenalectomy. Awareness of the existence of aberrant adrenal tissues and the embryological migration of adrenal medullary tissue is of clinical significance, as these tissues may undergo compensatory hypertrophy and result in neoplasms, making it difficult to achieve surgical goals.…”
