We describe a case of clinically unsuspected bilateral ectopic pheochromocytomas in a young woman. The bilateral retroperitoneal masses were located in the lower sympathetic ganglia at the level of the organ of Zuckerlandl. Computed tomography (CT) accurately identified the location and vascular characteristics of these neoplasms and provided access for percutaneous biopsy. Sonographic correlation is also presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
