title: Left sided cervical and thoracic malignant extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma.
abstract: Extra-adrenal Pheochromocytomas are rare entities. High index of suspicion among diastolic hypertensives followed by screening test for 24-hour urinary catecholamine level helps in diagnosis. 123I MIBG scintigraphy is specific for tumour localisation and surgical debulking of tumour or 131I MIBG therapy are alternative modes of treatment.
