Abstract

We report a case of adrenal pheochromocytoma in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). A 65-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital for examination of a right adrenal mass. The adrenal tumor was incidentally discovered by abdominal computed tomography during examination for hypertension in another hospital. She had large multiple neurofibromatous lesions and café-au-lait spots on the trunk. We thought that it was difficult to make a skin incision on normal skin. Serum and urinary catecholamines were markedly increased. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a solid round tumor 3 cm in diameter, located in the right adrenal gland. Laparoscopic right adrenalectomy was performed. Serum and urinary catecholamines returned to the normal range on post-operative day 10. Laparoscopic surgery may be a good option for NF1 patients with pheochromocytoma, especially those who had multiple neurofibromatosis on the trunk.
