Abstract: SummaryWe report a case of a female with hemihypertrophy, who developed five recurrences of pheochromocytomas until the age of 35. Timely follow-up of the patient's blood pressure assisted in early diagnosis and treatment of recurrent tumors.Learning points Recurrent benign pheochromocytomas should raise suspicion of a genetic syndrome.A pheochromocytoma at a young age has a high propensity to recur and strict follow-up is mandatory.

“…However a higher tumor risk is seen in a minority of individuals who do demonstrate abnormalities in this region [Hoyme et al, ; Shuman et al, ]. A review of the available literature identified only seven previous case reports of pheochromocytoma occurring up to the age of 20 years in any of BWS (n = 2, both bilateral) [Bemurat et al, ; Baldisserotto et al, ], IH (n = 4) [Schnakenburg et al, ; van den Akker et al, ; Kalish et al, ; Pikilidou et al, ], and MGWpatUPD (n = 1, bilateral) [Wilson et al, ] which are summarized in Table . The relative risk of pheochromocytoma in MGWpatUPD versus isolated 11p15 patUPD syndromes is not clear from the knowledge base to date.…”
