Abstract
Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas are catecholamine-secreting neuroendocrine tumors. Resecting a pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma is a high-risk surgical procedure due to lethal hypertensive crises, malignant arrhythmias, and multiorgan failure, requiring prior pharmacological preparation.
Below, we present the case of a 69-year-old man who underwent surgery whilst the presence of a paraganglioma was overlooked thus suffering ventricular tachycardia and hypertensive crises during the intervention and the postoperative period.
