| Résumé: | A 46-year-old man had sudden onset of severe left hypochondrial pain and went into shock following hospitalization. Computed tomography, echocardiography, and endocrinological tests revealed spontaneous rupture of a pheochromocytoma associated with catecholamine cardiomyopathy. After he underwent conservative management with fluid replacement, his blood pressure stabilized and cardiac function improved. Twenty-two days later, he was referred to our hospital. After admission, as his circulatory dynamics was stable, we performed elective laparoscopic left adrenalectomy. He was discharged on the tenth postoperative day. Spontaneous rupture of a pheochromocytoma is very rare : laparoscopic surgery for this condition has been reported only on 2 previous occasions worldwide |
