摘要
Pheochromocytoma (PCC) is a rare neuroendocrine catecholamine-secreting tumour of the adrenal gland. It originates from the chromaffin cells found within the adrenal medulla or the extra-adrenal paraganglia. We present a case report of a 24-year-old female who presented with hypertension, headache, palpitations, chest pain and blurry vision. On ultrasound evaluation, a right suprarenal mass was noted, which was further evaluated using contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT). Based on our imaging findings, the patient was diagnosed with a case of right-sided pheochromocytoma. The patient was operated on, and our diagnosis was confirmed with histopathological examination.
