  • Title: Association of pheochromocytoma with nephrocarcinoma. Case report and literature review.
    Author: Sharifi R, Abramowitz J, Lee M.
    Journal: Urol Int; 1986; 41(4):299-302. PubMed ID: 3787853.
    Abstract:
    We describe an unusual case of an elderly male with mild hypertension, who underwent a right radical nephrectomy for a nephrocarcinoma and developed accelerated hypertension intraoperatively. Postoperative pathology of the excised specimen revealed poorly differentiated nephrocarcinoma and pheochromocytoma of the right adrenal gland. The limited published literature on the association of nephrocarcinoma and pheochromocytoma is reviewed, and suggestions for optimal preoperative evaluation of these patients are offered.
