The present study reports the clinical data of a patient with pheochromocytoma who developed acute non-cardiac pulmonary edema. The patient has already been followed for 2 years after the initial surgery. Based on the case of our patient, and after the review of existing literature, we find that cases of patients who present dyspnea, shock and the lung changes of interstitial without according to respiratory common diseases tend to perform abdominal computed tomography (CT) to exclude pheochromocytoma. In addition, after receiving symptomatic treatment in acute left heart failure and pulmonary edema patients, having the poor effect, we have to consider the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma.
本研究报告了一例嗜铬细胞瘤患者发生急性非心源性肺水肿的临床资料。患者在初次手术后已随访 2 年。基于我们患者的病例,并回顾现有文献,我们发现对于出现呼吸困难、休克和无呼吸道常见疾病特征的间质性肺部改变的患者,倾向于进行腹部计算机断层扫描(CT)以排除嗜铬细胞瘤。此外,在对急性左心衰竭和肺水肿患者进行对症治疗后效果不佳时,我们必须考虑嗜铬细胞瘤的诊断。
