Abstract
PHEOCHROMOCYTOMAS are rare catecholamine-secreting neuroendocrine tumors that can produce life-threatening cardiovascular instability. 1 Lenders JW Eisenhofer G Mannelli M et al. Phaeochromocytoma.

Intraoperative pheochromocytoma resection management focuses on the goals of maintaining hemodynamic stability in the face of catecholamine surge. After resection, patients are at risk of systemic hypotension related to catecholamine withdrawal, especially in highly active pheochromocytomas. 3 Aguirre MA Lynch I Hardman B.
