Pheochromocytoma is known from a wide range of clinical manifestations and can mimic other disorders which can lead to delay in diagnosis. We report a case of a young female presenting with chest pain, electrocardiographic changes, and episodes of ventricular tachycardia, finally diagnosed with this catecholamine-producing tumor. < Pheochromocytoma is a rare catecholamine-producing tumor that can pose a diagnostic challenge due to its multiple manifestations mimicking various conditions, including cardiovascular disorders. Despite its infrequent occurrence, pheochromocytoma should be considered as a possible cause of life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias and electrocardiographic changes in patients with diagnostic difficulties and primarily suspected of having cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, the method of treatment is entirely different.>.
嗜铬细胞瘤有多种临床表现,可酷似其他疾病,从而导致诊断延误。我们报告一例年轻女性病例,该患者表现为胸痛、心电图改变及室性心动过速发作,最终诊断为这种分泌儿茶酚胺的肿瘤。<嗜铬细胞瘤是一种罕见的分泌儿茶酚胺的肿瘤,因其多种表现可酷似包括心血管疾病在内的各种情况,故可带来诊断挑战。尽管其发病率低,但对于诊断困难且主要怀疑患有心血管疾病的患者,嗜铬细胞瘤应被视为危及生命的心律失常和心电图改变的可能病因。此外,其治疗方法完全不同。>
