Forty-Three-Year-Old Female with Dopamine Secreting Pheochromocytoma of the Adrenal Gland

الملخص EN

We report on a 43-year-old, asymptomatic female who presented with incidental finding of left adrenal mass.

MRI gave concerns for possible pheochromocytoma but markers for pheochromocytoma were not elevated as expected.

24-hour urine dopamine levels (6988 μg/day) were significantly elevated.

The patient successfully underwent robotic assisted radical left adrenalectomy and was diagnosed with a dopamine secreting pheochromocytoma.

Pathology revealed increased malignant potential associated with the tumor.

The patient underwent full metastatic workup, which was negative.

At two years of follow-up there was no recurrence and normalization of lab values.
