[Residual arterial hypertension after excision of an extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma].
Residual arterial hypertension after excision of a pheochromocytoma of the Zuckerkandl organ, has brought the problem of its etiology. The short term approach consisted in performing, after specific biochemical dosages, a scintigram with IMBG, a scan and a magnetic resonance imaging, to look for a second pheochromocytoma. A negative workup enabled to conclude to an essential arterial hypertension. Nevertheless, this does not exclude the possibility of a long term malignancy, requiring clinical monitoring and IMBG scintigraphy.
