PURPOSE: Cardiac pheochromocytoma with multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome (MENS) is rare. We present a rare case of concurrent cardiac pheochromocytoma and pituitary adenoma, a rare variant of the MEN syndromes and a review of the literature with special emphasis on diagnosis and treatment. METHODS: Different from the single MENS type I or type II, Variant MENS' symptoms and signs are so nontypical that it is easy to make a misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis. One patient with variant MENS was treated surgically and relevant case data were collected. RESULTS: The perioperative course was uneventful. At 24-month follow-up, catecholamine levels returned to normal and no symptoms of pheochromocytoma was found. CONCLUSIONS: Cardiac pheochromocytoma with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia can be treated by operation with good prognosis. Surgical removal to provide relief or effective control of symptoms is the treatment of choice. |
