Childhood pheochromocytoma in a survivor of central primitive neuroectodermal tumor

Abstract: Pheochromocytoma and central nervous system primitive neuroectodermal tumor are both neural crest-derived tumors. The former is usually benign and develops mainly in adulthood and the latter brain tumor mainly occurs in childhood and has a poor prognosis. We report a case of a 15-year-old boy who developed pheochromocytoma after more than 10 years of complete remission of central primitive neuroectodermal tumor. Thus far, there have been no reports of childhood cancer survivors who developed pheochromocytoma. … Show more

“…Mean time from diagnosis of primary to second malignancy was 5 years (range: 2 years 1 month to 10 years 3 months), compared with 2-8 years published elsewhere. [13][14][15][16][17][18][27][28][29]42] These results support the need for close, long-term follow-up of pediatric cancer survivors for late effects.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Primary neoplasms that are more commonly associated with SMN include leukemia, lymphoma, retinoblastoma, medulloblastoma, craniopharyngioma, and neuroblastoma. [13][14][15][16] Radiation therapy is used therapeutically or preemptively in pediatric malignancies and has been linked with increased survival rates not without late effects. The term radiation-induced malignancy is used to describe malignancies which occur in tissues exposed to radiation that arise from the primary malignancy.…”
