Abstract

Pheochromocytoma is a chromaffin cell tumor preferentially located in the abdominal cavity and in particular in the adrenal gland. Clinically it can be asymptomatic or present with a wide variety of symptoms, given its ability to secrete catecholamines, such as high blood pressure as well as the classic triad of headache, hyperhidrosis and tachycardia. Moreover, we present a clinical case of a male patient, 24 years old, who debuts with loss of strength in right limbs after hypertensive crisis and hematoma in basal ganglion, which must be intervened desperately under the suspicion of pheochromocytoma tumor, with subsequent diagnosis, presurgical preparation and scheduled surgery.
