Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Multiple liver metastatic lesions were shown by computed tomography and scintigraphy with 123I- metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) in a 76-year-old woman 2 years after resection of a pheochromocytoma of the right adrenal gland. Transcatheter arterial chemo-embolization (TACE) was performed for the liver metastasis, with blood pressure strictly controlled by administration of doxazosin and phentolamine for the prevention of hypertensive crisis after TACE. There were no severe adverse events associated with the treatment, and the number and size of the lesions were decreased. TACE with strict blood pressure control was an effective and safe therapy for multiple liver metastatic lesions related to malignant pheochromocytoma.
