title: [Successive bilateral adrenal phaeochromocytoma. One case (author's transl)].
abstract: A patient underwent surgery for the first time at the age of ten years for a right-sided adrenal phaeochromocytoma. She underwent a second operation at the age of 27 years, for a contro-lateral localisation. Phaeochromocytomas are rare in the child. They are frequently bilateral, multiple and situated extra-adrenally. They fall within the context of Sipple's syndrome more rarely than in the adult. Treatment of these bilateral forms requires bilateral adrenalectomy in one or two stages, followed by substitute hormone therapy.
