title: [Granulosis rubra nasi and pheochromocytoma].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Granulosis rubra nasi, a papular red lesion of the nose associated with hypersudation is an uncommon dermatosis usually seen in children.
  
  
  METHODS
  A noradrenalin secreting pheochromocytoma was found in 19-year-old girl with hyperhidrosis, granulosis rubra nasi and tachycardia. Surgical exeresis of the pheochromocytoma was followed by involution of the hyperhidrosis, regression of the nasal dermatosis and normalization of urinary catecholamines.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The diagnosis of pheochromocytoma should be entertained in patients with hypersudation and tachycardia. Granulosis rubra nasi could be a complication of hyperhidrosis.
