[Benign pheochromocytoma and metaphyseal bone lesions in childhood].
The authors report a 5 year-old child in whom lesions of the inferior metaphyses of the femur and superior metaphyses of the tibia were observed after successive pheochromocytomas. The aspect of the lesions, their improvement after surgical treatment of the tumors, the data in the literature and histologic findings suggest that a bone ischemia was induced by impaired microcirculation with infarction of the metaphyses.
