Congestive heart failure and upper extremity deep vein thrombosis: A rare presentation of a pheochromocytoma
Pheochromocytomas are rare catecholamine-secreting neoplasms, occurring in approximately 0.1–0.5% of the patients with hypertension. Typically, a pheochromocytoma presents with hypertension, a paroxysm of headaches, sweating, and palpitation. However, patients may also present with atypical clinical...

description | Pheochromocytomas are rare catecholamine-secreting neoplasms, occurring in approximately 0.1–0.5% of the patients with hypertension. Typically, a pheochromocytoma presents with hypertension, a paroxysm of headaches, sweating, and palpitation. However, patients may also present with atypical clinical manifestations on rare occasions. This report presents a case involving a young woman who presented with two rare manifestations of pheochromocytomas: congestive heart failure and right upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Her cardiomyopathy was completely resolved by surgical and medical therapy, while DVT was resolved with anticoagulation. Pheochromocytoma should be considered in case of sudden and unexplained cardiac failure and/or DVT. Pheochromocytoma-induced cardiomyopathy can be reversed with medical and/or surgical therapy for pheochromocytomas. |
