ABSTRACT
Pheochromocytoma is a rare, but an important cause of surgically curable hypertension. Pheochromocytoma is a highly vascular tumor and not infrequently undergoes hemorrhagic necrosis and pseudocyst formation. Such cystic pheochromocytoma may be accompanied by shock and sepsis and commonly invade adjacent organs, in which cases its diagnosis and management may be difficult. Herein we present a case of adrenal cystic pheochromocytoma which was accompanied by sepsis and hypertension and mimicked pararenal abscess with a review of literatures.
