[Association of a pheochromocytoma and a homolateral clear cell renal carcinoma].
A 61 years old man had a clear cell type carcinoma of the right kidney and a small asymptomatic homolateral adrenal pheochromocytoma. A von Hippel-Lindau disease suggested by this association was not confirmed in this case. However the measurement of plasma and urinary catecholamines, VMA and Iodine 131 MIBG (meta-iodo-benzyl-guanidine) scans are usefull in case of clinical doubt in patients with renal adenocarcinoma. This observation and others in medical literature demonstrate the interest of resection of adrenal glands during a nephrectomy for adenocarcinoma.
