A 59-year-old woman developed multiple hepatic tumors 20 years after resection of pheochromocytoma of the left adrenal gland. Thin-needle aspiration biopsy of the tumor at segment 2 of the liver under ultrasound control showed histology compatible to pheochromocytoma. Then, on the basis of the diagnosis of hepatic metastasis of malignant pheochromocytoma, transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) was performed for the purpose of the treatment of hepatic metastasis. After TAE, the size of the hepatic metastatic lesions was decreased. The present case suggests the necessity of long-term follow-up in pheochromocytoma cases.
