We have presented our experience in the diagnosis and management of three patients with extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas. Only two had hypertension, although all three had increased catecholamine production. The third patient was normotensive preoperatively and remained normotensive after the immediate postoperative period. Two patients are alive and without evidence of disease, the third patient died from what was considered to be a malignant pheochromocytoma. All three patients presented with palpable masses, confirmed by computerized tomography.
我们介绍了我们对三名肾上腺外嗜铬细胞瘤患者的诊断和治疗经验。虽然三名患者的儿茶酚胺分泌均增加，但只有两名患者患有高血压。第三名患者术前血压正常，术后即刻血压也保持正常。两名患者存活且无疾病迹象，第三名患者死于被认为是恶性嗜铬细胞瘤的疾病。所有三名患者均有可触及的肿块，经计算机断层扫描证实。
