Abstract EN
Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma are tumors of neuroectoderm origin.
Up to 40% of patients with these tumors have germline mutations in known susceptibility genes.
We report a novel RET germline mutation (exon 15; c.2692G>T (D898Y)) in a pheochromocytoma patient, as well as in her two asymptomatic sons and older sister.
A 49-year-old female came to our clinic presenting with a right adrenal gland mass detected during a healthcare examination.
Her mother and two sisters had previously undergone thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid carcinomas.
The levels of vanillylmandelic acid and other catecholamines were elevated in 24-hour urine, and an imaging study revealed a right adrenal mass.
She underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy and the final pathologic diagnosis was pheochromocytoma.
Mutation screening detected a RET p.D898Y mutation, both in the patient and in the patient’s two sons and older sister.
This is the first description of a RET D898Y mutation in a pheochromocytoma patient and her family.
The mutation should be categorized as a variant of unknown significance because no RET gene related disorders were detected in this family.
Long term follow-up will be required to determine the clinical significance of the RET D898Y mutation.
