[Malignant pheochromocytomas: about three cases].
The authors report three cases of malignant pheochromocytomas. Metastases occurred in the liver in two cases whereas malignancy was suspected in the third case because of recurrence and local invasion. One case was pregnant at diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. Pheochromocytoma was associated to papillary thyroïd carcinoma in another case. The treatment considered was surgery in all cases.
