ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: We report a case of non-traumatic adrenal hemorrhage in a man with antiplatelet treatment. METHODS: The patient was admitted to the Critical Care Unit because of a non-controlled hypertensive crisis. Pheochromocytoma was analytically excluded. The patient underwent a delayed adrenalectomy. RESULTS: Pathologic study of the specimen showed a wide hemorrhagic necrosis. CONCLUSIONS: Association of high blood pressure and adrenal hemorrhage is not pathognomonic of pheochromocytoma.
