[A case of pheochromocytoma with atypical clinical presentation].
A case of pheochromocytoma that had undergone coronary arteriography because it stimulated coronary heart disease is presented. The correct diagnosis was suspected while checking the signs and symptoms during an episode of pulmonary edema and was definitely proved by computed tomography and scintigraphy with I 131 metaiodobenzylguanidine. The authors stress the importance of these new non invasive procedures in the diagnosis of site and nature of this disease.
