#3299 Pheochromocytomas and cardiovascular emergencies: A need for high index of suspicion

Introduction: Pheochromocytoma is a rare tumor derived from chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla, derived from embryonic neural crest cells. Pheochromocytoma affects approximately 0.3%-0.6% of the hypertensive population. Commonly, pheochromocytoma is diagnosed as an incidentalloma. The classical presentation of pheochromocytoma involves the triad of paroxysmal headaches, palpitations, and diaphoresis accompanied by marked hypertension, although this classical presentation is rarely encountered. Although rare, pheochromocytoma is also underdiagnosed. Cardiovascular emergency could be the first manifestation of pheochromocytoma.
