The causes of death, as determined by autopsy, in 10 patients dying from the acute effects of phaeochromocytoma were myocardial infarction (five patients), left ventricular failure (two patients), cerebral haemorrhage (two patients) and circulatory collapse with malignant phaeochromocytoma (one patient). Most patients died shortly after admission during the course of a fulminant cardiovascular illness and the underlying tumour was unsuspected in eight instances. The clinical features and post-mortem cardiovascular findings are reviewed.
通过尸检确定的10例死于嗜铬细胞瘤急性效应患者的死因分别为心肌梗死(5例)、左心室衰竭(2例)、脑出血(2例)以及恶性嗜铬细胞瘤伴循环衰竭(1例)。大多数患者在入院后不久死于暴发性心血管疾病,其中8例在生前未被怀疑存在潜在肿瘤。本文对临床特征及尸检时的心血管检查结果进行了综述。
