[Management for the removal of dopamin-secreting pheochromocytoma].
Incidence of dopamin-secreting pheochromocytoma is very rare. We reported managment of anesthesia for the removal of dopamin-secreting pheochromocytoma. A 46-year-old woman was diagnosed with pheochromocytoma, but lacking clinical symptoms. Plasma and urinary dopamine levels were remarkably elevated, but other catecholamine levels were within normal limits. She underwent left adrenalectomy. Plasma dopamine was measured before during and after the adrenalectomy. Blood pressure was not related to plasma dopamine levels.
