Abstract
Case 1 was a 71-year-old female who had been examined by her primary care physician for palpitation and hypertension. Urinary hormone test results revealed elevated urine metanephrine at 0.20 mg/day, urine normetanephrine at 0.45 mg/day and urine noradrenalin at 234.9 μg/day. 123I-MIBG scintigraphy showed uptake in the right suprarenal area, thus she was referred to our department because of pheochromocytoma. She underwent a laparoscopic right adrenalectomy and pathological results led to a diagnosis of adrenocortical adenoma. Case 2 was a 70-year-old female who had been examined at our hospital for hypertension. Blood hormone test results revealed elevated noradrenalin at 0.70 ng/ml. 123I-MIBG scintigraphy showed uptake in the left suprarenal area and she was referred to our department because of pheochromocytoma. She underwent a laparoscopic left adrenalectomy, thus pathological results showed no tumor lesion.
