Pheochromocytoma is a benign catecholamine secreting tumor, which is rare and originates from the adrenal gland. It has been known for a wide range of clinical manifestations and can mimic other difficult-to-diagnose diseases. Here, we report a female patient with acquired long QT syndrome, which is a rare complication of pheochromocytoma. Although relatively rare, the presence of pheochromocytoma should be considered in the case of malignant arrhythmias and electrocardiographic changes in patients.
嗜铬细胞瘤是一种分泌儿茶酚胺的良性肿瘤,较为罕见,起源于肾上腺。它具有广泛的临床表现,可酷似其他难以诊断的疾病。在此,我们报告一名患有获得性长QT综合征的女性患者,这是嗜铬细胞瘤的一种罕见并发症。尽管相对罕见,但对于出现恶性心律失常和心电图改变的患者,应考虑嗜铬细胞瘤的存在。
