Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 40-year-old woman was admitted because of abdominal pain and diarrhea. She sometimes experienced paroxysmal hypertension, sweating, headache, and palpitation. Sigmoidoscopic findings showed well-demarcated diffuse mucosal edema, hyperemia, and easy touch bleeding from distal descending colon up to the splenic flexure area. Barium x-ray showed loss of haustral marking, thumb printing appearance, and diffuse luminal stenosis in the transverse, descending, and sigmoid colon. On the abdominal computed tomogram, a 3.8-cm sized well-enhanced right adrenal mass was incidentally found. Twenty-four hour urinary excretion of vanillyl mandelic acid, norepinephrine, and normetanephrine were increased. Iodine131 metaiodobenzylguanidine scan showed hot uptake on the right adrenal gland compatible with pheochromocytoma. Exploratory laparotomy was done under the impression of ischemic colitis associated with pheochromocytoma. Adrenalectomy and resection of the stenotic left colon were performed. After surgery, pain subsided, blood pressure fell gradually, blood sugar and catecholamine level became normal, and bowel habit returned to normal. |
