title: Concurrent pheochromocytoma, ventricular tachycardia, left ventricular thrombus, and systemic embolization.
abstract: An obese 43-year-old female with a right adrenal pheochromocytoma is described. The clinical manifestations of this case included ventricular tachycardia, left ventricular thrombus, and elevation of serum myocardial enzymes. During the hospitalization, the left ventricular thrombus was detached, leading to renal infarction and embolic occlusion of the femoral arteries bilaterally.
