Abstract
The case of a 45-year-old woman with pheochromocytoma, who presented with severe abdominal pain and headache, diabetes mellitus, lactic acidosis and pulmonary edema, is described and discussed. Spleen infarction, not so far described as an ischemic complication of pheochromocytoma, was seen in computer tomography. After medical pretreatment with labetalol, a pheochromocytoma (2 x 2 cm) of the left adrenal gland was removed. The postoperative course was uneventful.
