Pheochromocytoma is a rare tumor in children which explains, together with its miscellaneous symptomatology, why the diagnosis may be delayed. The localization of the tumor(s) rests mainly on MIBG scintigraphy, and CT scan and/or magnetic resonance imaging. Thanks to a systematic preoperative treatment of hypertension and major progress in anesthesia, the operative mortality of pheochromocytomas in children is nowadays very low. Nevertheless two major problems remain: 1) the difficulty of diagnosing and treating the malignant forms, 2) the high frequency of recurrences, sometimes many years after the removal of the primary tumor. A regular long term supervision is therefore necessary after the surgical treatment.
