title: Pheochromocytoma in Eisenmenger's syndrome: a therapeutic challenge.
abstract: Surgical treatment of pheochromocytoma is associated with high hemodynamic risk, which is even higher in patients with complex congenital heart disease. Nowadays, patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease are living longer and an increased incidence of pheochromocytoma has been reported in this population. We demonstrate the feasibility and importance of minimally invasive surgery in the management of pheochromocytoma in a 45-year-old woman with complex congenital heart disease and Eisenmenger's syndrome. A successful laparoscopic resection of the tumor was performed in association with multidisciplinary management during hospitalization.
