Abstract

We presented here bilateral pheochromocytoma in a 12 year-old boy. These cases are rather rare. Surgery and anaesthesia in bilateral cases have additional risk and mortality rate. After resection of the tumor on one side, cathecolamine discharge from the other side often prolongs the hypertensive attacks. Morbidity due to anaesthesia is usually high in bilateral cases, because resection time of the second tumor is longer that the unilateral resection and cathecolamime releasing continues. No complication were observed in this case and he was clinically normal during one-year control.
