- W4315707101 abstract "Background: Pheochromocytoma is a rare catecholamine secreting tumor arising from the adrenal medulla and produces signs and symptoms due to excessive catecholamine secretion from the tumor. It is a rare cause of secondary hypertension and a delay in recognition and treatment can present serious consequences to the patient. Case Summary: We present a case of a 17-year-old male with a history of hypertension for 4 years with episodic headache, palpitations, and sweating. He does not have any history of serious illnesses, hospitalizations, or trauma. He was not on any medications. He has a family history of hypertension. He does not drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, or do any illicit drugs. Upon arrival to the ER, he was conscious, coherent with BP of 170/140mmHg, PR 111bpm, RR 26cpm, and afebrile. Laboratory work-up showed proteinuria, elevated BUN and creatinine levels, hyponatremia, hypokalemia, and hypocalcemia. A 2D echocardiography showed left ventricular hypertrophy. The whole abdominal CT scan demonstrated a fairly defined hypodense mass in the left suprarenal measuring 4.8 x 6.4 x 4.7 cm. Pheochromocytoma was confirmed by biochemical tests that showed elevated plasma normetadrenaline and 24-hour urine metanephrine. The patient was initially started on an alpha-adrenergic blocker, Terazosin, and a beta-blocker, Propranolol. Blood pressure was still uncontrolled hence calcium-channel blocker, Nicardipine drip was also given to control the blood pressure. During surgery, they noted the mass to be 8x5 cm invading the superior pole to mid pole and renal hilum hence the patient underwent left open adrenalectomy with left radical nephrectomy. Immediately upon removal of the mass, the patient had a hypotensive episode, which was addressed immediately. The histopathologic finding showed no extension of the mass to the kidneys and it is consistent with pheochromocytoma. Blood pressure control without medication was achieved 13 days post-operatively. The patient is regularly monitored for the recurrence of hypertension due to the increased risk of recurrence. The patient is now living with a solitary kidney hence should also be followed up through. Conclusion: Although it is a rare condition, pheochromocytoma should be considered a differential diagnosis in young patients presenting with unexplained hypertension, headache, and palpitations. A multidisciplinary approach is the best way to achieve success in the management of a patient with pheochromocytoma." @default.
