Abstract:
A 65-year-old male reported with a freely mobile abdominal lump and hypertension. Though pre-operatively and intra-operatively, we have suspected the lump to be a mesenteric cyst, postoperative histopathological examination revealed it to be phaeochromocytoma which is rare. In view of its extra-adrenal site of presentation and rarity, this case is reported herein.
