Abstract
Nowadays, through the wide use of both magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography, the diagnosis of adrenal incidentaloma is becoming increasingly frequent. Pheochromocytomas are neuroendocrine tumors which produce catecholamine, and they are characterized by headaches, palpitations, sweating and hypertension. Aldosterone-secreting adrenal cortical adenomas can cause various metabolic and cardiovascular diseases due to aldosterone excess. Our aim is to present a rare case of a concomitant existence of pheochromocytoma in the right adrenal and a functioning adrenal cortical adenoma in the left, worthwhile mentioning since the appearance of these two entities in different location in the same patient is unprecedented. The treatment remains challenging.Entities:
