[Hypertension and hyperhidrosis. Pheochromocytoma].
A 39-year-old woman was referred to our hypertension clinic with refractory hypertension. The patient history gave certain clues for pheochromocytoma. The diagnosis was proven with elevated metanephrines and computer tomography. The tumor was surgically removed.
