Abstract
is defined by the presence of metastases in non-chromaffin tissue or by the appearance of recurrences. About 40% of cases are genetic. It is therefore important to look for symptoms that suggest a genetic predisposition syndrome, particularly the multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN). The severity of this cancer is due to its rarity, a common cause of delayed diagnosis. Through the observation of our patient followed for malignant pheochromocytoma for 3 years and became oligometastatic, we would like to present the characteristics of this rare disease and to underline the interest of an optimal as well specific management of the tumor, the oligometastases, and associated complications, passing through experienced multidisciplinary teams.
