An analysis of 20 patients who underwent angiographic localization of pheochromocytoma is presented. The tumors were localized accurately by arteriography in all 20 patients, by excretory urography in 4 of 13 and by computerized body tomography in 3 of 5. Venous sampling and venography were invaluable aids in the localization of pheochromocytomas in patients with postoperatively elevated catecholamine levels, or in the evaluation of recurrence or metastases. The tumors were extra-adrenal in 7 patients, bilateral in 4 and malignant in 5. The majority of these tumors occurred in women.
本文对20例接受嗜铬细胞瘤血管造影定位的患者进行了分析。所有20例患者的肿瘤均通过动脉造影准确定位,13例中的4例通过排泄性尿路造影定位,5例中的3例通过计算机体层摄影定位。静脉采样和静脉造影对于术后儿茶酚胺水平升高的患者嗜铬细胞瘤的定位,或对复发或转移的评估具有重要价值。7例患者的肿瘤位于肾上腺外,4例为双侧,5例为恶性。这些肿瘤大多数发生在女性。
