Résumé
Pheochromocytoma is a usually benign tumor of chromaffin tissue (90 % of cases). We report a 77-year-old patient with a past medical history of surgically removed pheochromocytoma that was considered to be " benign" , who presented with secondary bone metastases 5 years later. A treatment combining radiation and interferon allowed to control the metastatic lesions. The possibility of late metastatic extension in patients with pheochromocytoma should be kept in mind.
