ABSTRACT
Pheochromocytomas are neoplasms of the adrenal gland that are derived from chromaffin cells. One of the most important features of this tumor is that it can synthesize and release catecholamines such as norepinephrine and epinephrine. Due to this, arterial hypertension is one of the most common manifestations of the tumor. Although arterial hypertension is a substantial risk factor for aortic dissection, aortic dissection is actually a rare manifestation of pheochromocytoma. Here, we report a patient with pheochromocytoma who presented with acute type B aortic dissection.
