[Pheochromocytoma secreting adrenaline, a rare form of presentation].
We present the case of a 42-year-old patient with a pheochromocytoma, whose clinical form of presentation was extremely rare, due to the high secretion of adrenalin compared to noradrenaline. We stress the relevance of the anamnesis for the diagnosis of this pathology, as well as the problems regarding its clinical, anaesthetic and surgical management. In addition, we review the literature.
