Abstract

In Denmark, the incidence of pheochromocytoma is 6.6 per million person-years. This case report describes a 33-year-old woman with a life-threatening adrenal bleeding. For some years prior to the incident she had suffered from hypertension, headache, palpitations, rapid increase of weight, oligomenorrhoea and hirsutism. The treatment was acute arterial embolisation. Subsequently, due to a persistently elevated level of methoxynoradrenaline she was diagnosed with pheochromocytoma. She was endocrinologically optimised, and the adrenal gland was removed laparoscopically.
