Abstract

Three members of a kindred exhibiting bilateral adrenal pheochromocytomas are presented together with previously reported 15 familial cases in Japan. The rate of tumor growth, the stage of asymptomatic or chemical pheochromocytoma and the importance of urinary catecholamine assay for detection and diagnosis in this type of tumor are particularly emphasized.
