Ultrasonographic detection of a pheochromocytoma.
A boy, aged 15 years, reacted hyperthermically when he underwent a general anesthesia. Following investigation revealed a high rate of metanephrines in the urine. A subsequent ultrasonographic examination revealed a round, echo-dense mass ventral from the upper pole of the left kidney. This mass proved to be an adrenal pheochromocytoma.
