Abstract

We describe the case of an 80-year-old man with sporadic right pheochromocytoma who developed metastatic disease six years after initial diagnosis. Despite adequate blood pressure control and initial biochemical cure criteria after surgery, elevated chromogranin A levels were detected during routine screening, which anticipated elevated 24-h urine metanephrines. Subsequent imaging tests revealed metastatic lesions in the lungs, liver, prostate and lymph nodes. The patient underwent systemic treatment with [131I] MIBG, which resulted in a decrease in chromogranin A levels, achieving radiological and clinical stability. This case highlights the importance of long-term follow-up and biochemical monitoring for early detection of tumor recurrence in patients with pheochromocytoma, emphasizing the need for individualized treatment strategies and interdisciplinary care.

Resumen

Se describe el caso de un hombre de 80 años con feocromocitoma derecho esporádico que desarrolló enfermedad metastásica seis años después del diagnóstico inicial. A pesar de un adecuado control de la presión arterial y de los criterios iniciales de curación bioquímica tras la cirugía, se detectaron niveles elevados de cromogranina A durante una revisión rutinaria, que anticiparon la elevación de metanefrinas en orina de 24 horas. Las pruebas de imagen posteriores revelaron lesiones metastásicas en los pulmones, el hígado, la próstata y los ganglios linfáticos. El paciente fue sometido a tratamiento sistémico con [131I] MIBG, lo que produjo una disminución de los niveles de cromogranina A, logrando, asimsimo, estabilidad clínica y radiológica. Este caso subraya la importancia del seguimiento a largo plazo y la monitorización bioquímica para la detección precoz de la recurrencia tumoral en pacientes con feocromocitoma, enfatizando la necesidad de estrategias de tratamiento individualizadas y atención interdisciplinaria.
