Abstract
Familial pheochromocytoma is an uncommon form of this neoplasia. It is characterized by an autosomal dominant inheritance and multicentric locations. It is more frequently encountered in children, but with a smaller risk of malignant transformation than in adults. The familial form may be associated with other disorders, particularly with multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN), Von Hippel-Lindau's disease and Von Recklinghausen's disease. We report the case of a nine-year-old boy with multiple familial pheochromocytoma in whom sonography allowed to demonstrate five localizations.
