Giant pheochromocytoma with sarcoidosis.

We describe a case of an asymptomatic patient with a huge left abdominal mass, which at operation was found to be a cystic pheochromocytoma weighing over 3,000 gm. A dignosis of sarcoidosis was established simultaneously, with the discovery of sarcoid granulomas in abdominal nodes and within the tumor mass itself. This is only the second observation of coexistent sarcoidosis and pheochromocytoma, and with the paucity of related literature, we conclude the association is probably fortuitous.
