ANESTHETIC MANAGEMENT OF PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA

Pheochromocytoma is pharmacologically volatile, potentially lethal catecholamine-containing tumor of chromaffin tissues. The perioperative course and anesthetic management of patients with catecholamine-secreting pheochromoytoma has typically been reported only in small case series because of the infrequent incidence of these tumors. In this report, we describe a successful management of a case of pheochromocytoma that underwent right adrenalectomy with favorable outcome.
