Pheochromocytoma is a catecholamine secreting tumor that originate from chromaffin cells. Usually, it is solid neoplasm of the adrenal medulla, however cystic pheochromocytoma is a rare neuro-endocrine tumour that is frequently asymptomatic and often diagnosed incidentally on imaging or intra-operatively. Only a few cases of cystic pheochromocytomas have been reported in the world literature. We present a case of giant cystic pheochromocytoma in a 65 years old lady who presented with a large retroperitoneal lump, which is probably the world's third largest pheochromocytoma as per the available indexed literature.
嗜铬细胞瘤是一种起源于嗜铬细胞的分泌儿茶酚胺的肿瘤。通常，它是肾上腺髓质的实性肿瘤，然而囊性嗜铬细胞瘤是一种罕见的神经内分泌肿瘤，常无症状，常在影像学检查或手术中偶然发现。世界文献中仅报道了少数几例囊性嗜铬细胞瘤病例。我们报告一例65岁女性的巨大囊性嗜铬细胞瘤病例，该患者表现为一个巨大的腹膜后肿块，根据现有索引文献，这可能是世界上第三大嗜铬细胞瘤。
