Phaeochromocytoma in childhood: radiological-pathological correlation

Abstract

Phaeochromocytomas are exceptionally rare tumours in children. We describe a series of 15 children diagnosed with 16 phaeochromocytomas diagnosed over 21 years. The series was collected from the Johannesburg Academic Hospital Complex and Great Ormond Street Hospital in London. We describe the clinical presentation, imaging characteristics, histological findings and the outcome of this group.
