[Surgical therapy of polytopic vertebral metastasis in malignant pheochromocytoma].
Malignant pheochromocytoma has a low incidence. Metastatic disease with skeletal spread is a known entity while osseous involvement of the spine is uncommon. Therefore the case of a 27 year of female with successive, polytopic spinal metastases is reported who underwent surgical resection and stabilisation. 6 years after onset of spinal metastases and operative treatment the patient is free of complaints according to the spinal column.
