| Popis: | The case of a 13 year old girl with hypertension, pheochromocytoma, and the nephrotic syndrome is presented. The spontaneous remission of the hypertension and nephrotic syndrome following surgical removal of the tumor raises the probability of a causal relationship. The fact that nephropathy may be an outstanding manifestation of adrenal medullary tumors emphasizes the necessity for a complete study in all patients with hypertension. The usefulness of aortography as a safe, accurate and reliable procedure in the diagnosis and localization of pheochromocytoma is mentioned. A brief review of pertinent material from the literature regarding renal manifestations of adrenal medullary tumors has been included. |
