Authors report a case of a patient with abdominal pheochromocytoma who presented recurrent episodes of acute pulmonary edema. No cardiopathy was detected either by clinical examination or by electrocardiogram, echograms or invasive cineventricleangiograma. They concluded that a non cardiogenic etiology is possible for the referred clinical manifestations.

D010673 Pheochromocytoma A usually benign, well-encapsulated, lobular, vascular tumor of chromaffin tissue of the ADRENAL MEDULLA or sympathetic paraganglia. The cardinal symptom, reflecting the increased secretion of EPINEPHRINE and NOREPINEPHRINE, is HYPERTENSION, which may be persistent or intermittent. During severe attacks, there may be HEADACHE; SWEATING, palpitation, apprehension, TREMOR; PALLOR or FLUSHING of the face, NAUSEA and VOMITING, pain in the CHEST and ABDOMEN, and paresthesias of the extremities. The incidence of malignancy is as low as 5% but the pathologic distinction between benign and malignant pheochromocytomas is not clear.
