RESUMO
We have presented our experience in the diagnosis and management of three patients with extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas. Only two had hypertension, although all three had increased catecholamine production. The third patient was normotensive preoperatively and remained normotensive after the immediate postoperative period. Two patients are alive and without evidence of disease, the third patient died from what was considered to be a malignant pheochromocytoma. All three patients presented with palpable masses, confirmed by computerized tomography

We have presented our ten years experience in the surgical management of adrenal tumors. Patients presenting with hypertension (9) are normotensive following the removal of the offending adrenal tumor. One patient had an extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma, one had a huge organized adrenal hematoma and one patient has a non-functional tumor. The diagnosis and management of endocrine tumors is a challenge to the clinician
