Pheochromocytomas are rare tumors arising from the adrenal medulla. The diagnosis of malignancy remains a dogma between surgeon, pathologist and oncologist. We present a case of voluminous pheochromocytoma in a 53-year-old female patient, suspect of malignancy in the pathologic examination, while emphasizing the importance of the clinical and radiological long-term monitoring.
