Case ReportsSpontaneous ruptured pheochromocytoma: a case report.
We present a rare case of intra-abdominal hemorrhage due to a ruptured pheochromocytoma. Our patient presented with signs of shock. ⋯ Recovery was uneventful. In cases of suspected hemorrhagic pheochromocytoma with severe shock, prompt surgery is mandatory and catecholamines administration may be crucial to resolve hypotension and guarantee an uneventful recovery.
