ABSTRACT
In hypertensive patients it is very important to detect renal artery stenosis or pheochromocytoma, since both diseases are curable causes of hypertension. However, renal artery stenosis can be induced by pheochromocytoma, when the diagnosis of the two simultaneous disease is very difficult. We experienced two cases of pheochromocytoma presented as renal artery stenosis. Pheochromcytoma was overlooked when renovascular hypertension was diagnosed. Pheochromocytoma was found during surgery in one patient and after angioplasty in the other. In both cases, BP returned to normal after surgical removal of pheochromocytoma without repair of the stenosis. Prevention of ineffective and unnecessary renal artery angioplasty of surgery requires knowledge of this unusal association between pheochromocytoma and renal artery stenosis and a high degree of clinical alertness for pheochromocytoma.
