Abstract
- Pheochromocytoma, derived from the neural crest, is one of the surgically curable hypertensive syndromes The clinical manifestations in patients with pheochromocytoma are highly variable. The vast majority are functioning tumors but approximately 10 per cent of patients with pheochromocytoma are asymptomatic. Pheochromocytoma is a highly vascular tumor and not infrequently undergoes hemorrhagic necrosis and pseudocyst formation. Herein we report a case of nonfunctioning cystic pheochromocytoma in 32-year-old man.
