ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical course of a patient with a nonresectable pheochromocytoma during urgent hip surgery. METHODS: To describe the clinical management and postoperative outcome of the patient and review the relevant literature. RESULTS: An 85-year-old male with a nonresectable pheochromocytoma required urgent hip surgery following a traumatic hip fracture. He was perioperatively managed with phenoxybenzamine, metyrosine, and metoprolol to avoid potential pheochromocytoma-related complications. He remained hemodynamically stable and recovered from the surgery without complications. CONCLUSIONS: This case illustrates the successful management of a patient requiring urgent surgery in the setting of a nonresectable pheochromocytoma, which is rarely described in the literature.
