Description
Sai Kameshwar Rao, Manasvini Bhatt, Devasenathipathy Kandasamy, and Nikhil Tandon present a striking imaging case in this 2026 report. A forty-two year old man came in with belly pain and vomiting, and scans found large masses on both adrenal glands, crusted with heavy calcium deposits.
Blood tests showed hormone output more than ten times the normal cap, pointing to pheochromocytoma, a hormone secreting tumor. Scans also found a pancreatic tumor and cysts, plus a growth deep in the brain. Gene testing confirmed von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, an inherited tumor condition. Surgery proved the adrenal tumors were pheochromocytomas. The team notes that even heavily calcified adrenal masses can hide this diagnosis in hereditary tumor syndromes.
