We report an index case of a male patient who presented with all clinical manifestations of Pacak-Zhuang syndrome, including early-age polycythemia, multiple pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas, duodenal somatostatinoma, and ocular findings. Sequencing analysis detected an EPAS1 mutation in all tumors tested, but not in the germline.
