Abstract

Pheochromocytomas are rare and often sporadic tumours of catecholamine-secreting chromaffin cells, usually present within the adrenal medulla, but also may occur elsewhere. A 45-year-old female was referred by her general practitioner with a 5-year history of increasingly frequent episodes of cyclical diarrhoea, vomiting, abdominal pain and intermittent palpitations. Contrast CT Abdomen/Pelvis revealed a 36x33x46 mm mass in the aorto caval region of her retro-peritoneum, just above the bifurcation. On the basis of her symptoms, CT findings and an elevated plasma metanephrine level of 2314pmol/L (normal range 80 – 510pmol/L), it was at this point a likely diagnosis of a Phaeochromocytoma was made. The retroperitoneal mass was successfully resected, and the histology confirmed a Phaeochromocytoma. Her symptoms rapidly improved and she made a good recovery. This unusual case highlights some of the dilemmas that arise when investigating patients with chronic and recurrent diarrhoea and vomiting.
