title: Case report: thalassemia intermedia patient with hypertension non-responsive to combined medical treatment.
abstract: Pheochromocytoma is a rare disease in the general population and, to the best of our knowledge, only one case has been reported so far in patients with hemoglobinopathies. We describe the occurrence of pheochromocytoma in a patient with thalassemia intermedia associated with Gilbert's disease and Crigler- Najjar Type 2 syndrome.
