Abstract :
We report a case of 30 years old female who presented with history of frequent headaches, palpitation, sweating along with mass abdomen. Hypertension was accelerated as ECG reflec- ted sinus rhythm with left ventricular hypertrophy and no papilloedema. Ultrasound abdomen revealed right sided, well defined solid mass posterolateral to the inferior vena cava. Urine analysis revealed raised metabolite vanillylmandalic acid. Patient was diagnosed as a case of pheochromocytoma of the right suprarenal gland. After control of blood pressure, laparotomy under general anaesthesia was performed. A big tumour was excised. Histopathology con- firmed the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma.
