Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) appearances of an adrenal phaeochromocytoma in a child with Von Hippel-Lindau disease.
[von hippel-lindau disease]
A
phaeochromocytoma
is
a
rare
catecholamine-secreting
tumour
arising
from
the
chromaffin
cells
.
We
describe
a
case
of
a
child
with
Von
Hippel-
Lindau
disease
,
with
an
adrenal
phaeochromocytoma
who
presented
with
severe
dilated
cardiomyopathy
driven
by
secondary
hypertension
.
Contrast-enhanced
ultrasound
findings
are
described
and
compared
with
both
magnetic
resonance
imaging
and
computed
tomography
imaging
.
