[A case of pheochromocytoma with cardiac localization. Review of the literature].
In a 26-year old man who died post-operatively, post-mortem examination revealed the presence of a phaeochromocytoma located in the atrio-ventricular sulcus and involving the trunk and bifurcation branches of the left coronary artery. Pre-operative investigations, including whole-body computerized tomography, and exploratory laparotomy had failed to detect the tumour. In contrast with the case reported here, the 4 other cases previously published concerned intrapericardial phaeochromocytomas in contact with the posterior wall of the left atrium.
