Abstract Phaeochromocytoma is a catecholamine-secreting tumor of the sympathoadrenal system. It poses a significant challenge to the anesthesiologist, as sudden and intense hemodynamic changes are common in the preoperative and intraoperative periods. Preoperative optimization with sympatholytic drugs along with fluid resuscitation and intraoperative hemodynamic stability is essential for improved patient outcome. The anatomy of the tumor and proximity to major vasculature prove a challenge to anesthetists and surgeons alike. We are presenting a case of a 53-year-old male with a phaeochromocytoma of the right adrenal gland posted for laparoscopic right adrenalectomy, with the tumor mass compressing the inferior vena cava.
