Abstract
Pseudopheochromocytoma and pheochromocytoma may have the same clinical and laboratorial presentation but different aetiologies.The diagnosis of pseudopheochromocytoma is based on paroxysmal hypertension with normal or increased plasma and urine levels of catecholamines or metanephrines after exclusion of a tumoural process.The pseudopheochromocytoma may be associated with levodopa, alone or in combination with other drugs that are likely to interfere with dopamine or catecholamine metabolism.
