  • Title: Pheochromocytoma manifesting with shock presents a clinical paradox: a case report.
    Author: Ford J, Rosenberg F, Chan N.
    Journal: CMAJ; 1997 Oct 01; 157(7):923-5. PubMed ID: 9327801.
    Abstract:
    A 46-year-old man presented with shock and adult respiratory distress syndrome. Investigations revealed an adrenal mass that was diagnosed, by fine-needle aspiration biopsy, as pheochromocytoma. Because biopsy is contraindicated in patients with pheochromocytoma, this confusing presentation underscores the value of excluding this diagnosis by biochemical means before performing fine-needle aspiration of adrenal tumours.
