This case report describes a rare association between pheochromocytoma and Behçet's disease (BD) in a 38-year-old female. The patient presented with palpitations, dizziness, and blood pressure fluctuations, leading to the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. Following treatment, she developed symptoms of BD, including oral and genital ulcers. This case highlights the challenges in the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma and raises questions about the potential link between catecholamine excess and autoimmune conditions like BD, suggesting a need for further studies into their pathophysiological relationship.
