  • Title: Extra-adrenal Pheochromocytoma Associated With Segmental Renal Artery Compression and Pseudostenosis.
    Author: Weaver J, Rove KO, Vricella GJ.
    Journal: Urology; 2018 Oct; 120():238-240. PubMed ID: 29800631.
    Abstract:
    Classically, pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas result in hypertension secondary to an excess release of catecholamines. However, when the tumor arises near the renal hilum, hypertension may also be secondary to renal artery stenosis, which can occur via several purported mechanisms. We describe an unusual case of a hereditary, extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma causing right lower pole renal artery pseudostenosis, pertinent radiologic signs, relevant surgical findings, and subsequent resolution after extirpative surgery.
