    Journal: Arch Esp Urol; 1996; 49(6):627-9. PubMed ID: 8804187.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: To review the main features of malignant pheochromocytoma and its relationship to von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis. METHODS/RESULTS: We report on a case of malignant bilateral pheochromocytoma with hepatic and pulmonary metastasis, associated with von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis. Surgery achieved good results and the patient is well seven years postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS: Approximately 10% of the pheochromocytomas are malignant and treatment is principally by surgery. (131) metaiodobenzylguanidine may be useful in cases with metastasis, residual tumor or local relapse.
