A Case Report: Pheochromocytoma-Induced Hypertension in a 65-Year-Old Patient – An Anesthesiologist’s Perspective

Pheochromocytoma is a rare adrenal gland tumor that produces excessive amounts of adrenaline and noradre­naline, leading to a surge in blood pressure. This condi­tion often goes undiagnosed due to its infrequency and diverse symptom presentation, surgery is considered as the definitive treatment. We report a 65-year-old male patient, initially referred to an endocrinologist for further evaluation of a mass in the right kidney discovered via Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), leading to a diagno­sis of pheochromocytoma. Following a successful surgi­cal procedure and peri-operative period, the patient was discharged and advised to return to the hospital 1 month after the surgery and every 1 year for regular follow-ups.
