다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Malignant pheochrmoocytoma is a rare neoplasm of the chromaffin tissue from the adrenal medulla or from extra-adrenal paraganglionic sites. Approximately 109p of patients with pheochromocytoma have a malignant disease. Local invasion and dissemination to distant organs casue significant morbidity and early mortality with a 5-year survival of 44% for all patients with malignant diseases.
Malignant pheochromocytoma secretes excess catecholamines that cause sporadic or sustained hypertension. Thus, the main treatment for this tumor is anti-hypertensive therapy.
There are few data reporting malignant pheo-chromocytoma in this country. We report a case of malignant pheochromocytoma with recurrence and distant metastasis.
