Pheochromocytoma is a rare tumor, the diagnosis of which is based on a history of hypertension, and symptoms, signs and laboratory data associated with increased release of catecholamines. The combination of pheochromocytoma and shock is uncommon, but when it does occur, is often associated with necrosis of the tumor. We report an unusual case of a patient whose clinical findings suggested fulminating septic shock. Only at postmortem was the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma made.
嗜铬细胞瘤是一种罕见的肿瘤，其诊断基于高血压病史以及与儿茶酚胺释放增加相关的症状、体征和实验室数据。嗜铬细胞瘤与休克并存的情况并不常见，但一旦发生，常与肿瘤坏死有关。我们报告了一例不寻常的病例，该患者的临床表现提示暴发性脓毒症休克。直到尸检时才确诊为嗜铬细胞瘤。
