RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Pheochromocytoma is a rare, catecholamine secreting tumor arising from chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla and it is responsible for 0.5-2% of pediatric hypertension cases. We hereby present a case of a 13-year-old girl with obesity, excessive hypertension, prediabetes and secondary nocturnal enuresis, who was eventually diagnosed with pheochromocytoma. Most symptoms significantly improved after treating the tumor. We suggest that this diagnosis should be considered in pediatric patients presenting with similar symptoms.
