An otherwise healthy 43-year old woman presented with a large upper pole mass of the left kidney. Transabdominal left-sided nephrectomy including adrenalectomy was performed. Histopathological examination revealed extraadrenal pheochromocytoma with infiltration of the kidney. Awareness of this rare condition could avoid potentially dangerous cardiovascular complications during surgery.

Pheochromocytomas are neuroendocrine tumors that derive from sympathetic adrenomedullary chromaffin tissue and produce catecholamines. Due to the excess release of catecholamines, they can produce arterial hypertension, tachycardia, sweating, headache and a large number of other clinical manifestations secondary to the stimulation of α and β adrenoreceptors. Screening for pheochromocytoma is recommended in patients with paroxysmal, resistant or early-onset arterial hypertension, in cases with symptoms suggestive of catecholamine hypersecretion, patients with hereditary syndromes associated with pheochromocytomas, diabetes mellitus of atypical presentation and in adrenal incidentalomas with radiological characteristics not typical of adenoma (with > 10 Hounsfield Units on non-contrast CT).

Quantifying urinary catecholamines and metanephrines is essential for the clinical screening and diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumours. HPLC with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ECD) is commonly used for this type of analysis but requires extensive sample cleanup. Simple and rapid dilute-and-shoot LC-multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM)-MS assays have been developed for quantitating these analytes in urine but have not yet been validated according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines.

Background: Sweet's syndrome (SS) or acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis is a dermatological illness that can be described by tender erythematous plaques or nodules and acute onset fever. The etiology is multifactorial and is not fully understood. SS is separated in three subclasses: classical, malignancy-associated, and drug-induced.
