Partial adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma with maintenance of adrenocortical function

J Birnbaum, A Giuliano and AJ Van Herle
Department of Medicine, University of California, School of Medicine, Los Angeles 90024-1682.

A 30-yr-old woman with malignant hypertension was found to have biochemical evidence of pheochromocytoma. Bilateral adrenal tumors were demonstrated on computerized tomographic scanning and confirmed at the time of surgery. Complete removal of one adrenal gland with partial removal of the other adrenal gland resulted in normalization of her blood pressure and biochemical parameters (norepinephrine and epinephrine) with preservation of adrenocortical function.
