[Permeability pulmonary edema in pheochromocytoma].

We describe two patients with pheochromocytoma who developed pulmonary edema of rapid onset. The edema occurred spontaneously in the first case and during surgery for the tumor in the second patient. Since left ventricular function was normal in both patients and the protein content of the edema fluid was elevated in one patient, the conditions involved were permeability edemas.
