Abstract EN
Pheochromocytoma is a rare and usually benign neuroendocrine neoplasm.
Only 10% of all these tumors are malignant and there are no definitive histological or cytological criteria of malignancy.
Single malignancy criteria are the presence of advanced locoregional disease or metastases.
We report a case, with a giant retroperitoneal tumor having multiple metastases including palpable rib metastases, who was diagnosed as a malignant pheochromocytoma.
The patient was treated with surgery.
The literature was reviewed to evaluate tumor features and current diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for patients with metastatic or potentially malignant pheochromocytoma.
