A Symptomatic De Novo Pheochromocytoma 23 Years after Liver Transplantation: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

الملخص EN

We report a case of subacute onset of headaches and tremors with a newly discovered adrenal pheochromocytoma 23 years after an orthotopic liver transplantation and provide a review of the scarce literature regarding endocrine malignancies in liver transplant recipients.

We describe the clinical presentation, diagnostic work-up, and management.

This is the second case report in the literature of a de novo pheochromocytoma after solid organ transplantation.

It shows that new-onset common symptoms in transplant recipients are always challenging and deserve a very thorough work-up until the cause of the symptoms is elucidated.

A broad differential diagnosis should always be included in the study of any abnormalities in this patient population.
