Summary
We report a case of a female with hemihypertrophy, who developed five recurrences of pheochromocytomas until the age of 35. Timely follow-up of the patient's blood pressure assisted in early diagnosis and treatment of recurrent tumors.
Learning points
- Recurrent benign pheochromocytomas should raise suspicion of a genetic syndrome.
- A pheochromocytoma at a young age has a high propensity to recur and strict follow-up is mandatory.
