Abstract
The authors present a case of malignant adrenal phaeochromocytoma inci dentally discovered 14 years after a similar finding in the controlate ral adrenal gland. The rarity of incidentally discovered malignant adr enal phaeochromocytoma (second report in the literature) and the impor tance of isotope scan with MIGB for the investigation of asymptomatic and nonfunctioning phaeochromocytomas are outlined.
