He underwent bilateral adrenalectomy with incomplete resection of tumoral mass from the left iliac vessels in February 2011 and pathology was consistent with medullar hyperplasia on the right adrenal gland, and pheochromocytoma with evidence of angioinvasion on the left adrenal gland with tumour cells reactive with chromogranin, synaptophysin and S100. This evidence concerns the gene SYP and hereditary pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma.
