The association of pheochromocytoma in patients with neurofibromatosis type I has rarely been reported in low-income countries, especially on the African continent. A 43-year-old woman with neurofibromatosis type I was diagnosed with a right adrenal pheochromocytoma in Pretoria, South Africa. To our knowledge, this report is the first case to be published of a patient with neurofibromatosis type I diagnosed with a pheochromocytoma in Pretoria, and one of three cases on the African continent. The rarity may be due to the two associated conditions being under-reported, undiagnosed, misdiagnosed or possibly the association is rare on the African continent. The clinician dealing with these two conditions should be aware of the association.
嗜铬细胞瘤在 I 型神经纤维瘤病患者中的关联在低收入国家很少见，尤其是在非洲大陆。一位 43 岁的女性患有 I 型神经纤维瘤病，在南非比勒陀利亚被诊断出患有右肾上腺嗜铬细胞瘤。据我们所知，这是首例在比勒陀利亚被诊断为嗜铬细胞瘤的 I 型神经纤维瘤病患者的病例报告，也是非洲大陆上的三个病例之一。这种罕见性可能是由于这两种相关疾病报告较少、未被诊断、误诊，或者可能在非洲大陆上这种关联较为罕见。处理这两种疾病的临床医生应该意识到这种关联。
