Abstract

A case of malignant pheochromocytoma, with a recurrence 17 years after the initial diagnosis of benign pheochromocytoma, was presented. The autopsy revealed multiple métastasés of pheochromocytoma to the bone marrow of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae. Of particular note is the fact that the patient was associated with paralytic ileus, polyuria and hypercalcemia and that he died of hypercalcemia crisis. Cases like this appear to be very rare. © 1985, The Japan Endocrine Society. All rights reserved.
