A hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fracture was successfully performed under combined epidural anaesthesia and light general anaesthesia before phaeochromocytoma removal. Pre-operative therapy was managed with doxazosin, enalapril and diltiazem. Peri-operative management facilitated maintenance of stable haemodynamic conditions. Post-operative pain management was provided with continuous 1% lignocaine infusion via an epidural catheter. The phaeochromocytoma was finally removed uneventfully 7 weeks after hemiarthroplasty.
