Abstract:

Four patients admitted to our hospital with different symptomatology are studied: a 9-years-old boy with hyperhidrosis; a 47-years-old woman with arterial hypertension and two young males, 25 and 36-years-old, respectively, with thoracic pain. In all cases, the presence of pheochromocytoma was suspected. One of them died due to left ventricular failure with acute lung edema. The other three patients were diagnosed by hormonal determinations, detecting a supra-renal body with abdominal echography and computerized axial tomography and undergoing surgery. Currently, they are asymptomatic.
