ZOIDO GARROTE, Elia et al. Pheochromocytoma presenting with secondary enuresis in a 13-year-old girl. Arch. argent. pediatr. [online]. 2017, vol.115, n.4, pp.e255-e259. ISSN 0325-0075.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5546/aap.2017.e255.

Pheochromocytoma is a rare tumor which is infrequent in children. Although the clinical presentation in children can be atypical, the classic symptoms are headache, sweating and tachycardia. Hypertension is often a constant sign in most patients. There are few cases in literature reporting pheochromocytoma presented with polyuria. We present a 13-year-old girl who came to the Pediatric Nephrologist due to a year of evolution of secondary enuresis. When her blood pressure was taken, she was above the 99th percentile that corresponds to her age and her height that is why she was admitted for treatment and diagnostic study.
