Abstract
Pheochromocytoma is a rare tumor that has debilitating effects. These tumors originate from chromaffin cells and are located in the adrenal medulla. Tumors located outside of the adrenal medulla are known as paragangliomas. Patients usually suffer from episodes of hypertension, headaches, sweating, etc. This is due to excess circulating catecholamines. An adrenalectomy is the mainstay of treatment. However, appropriate management of hemodynamics in the perioperative period is key to a successful outcome.
