Debut af faeokromocytom med vasokonstriktion og gangraen
Sammanfattning
We describe a 71-year-old woman who was admitted with pneumonia. She quickly developed severe pain and gangrene in all four extremities and had several fingers and crurae amputated. Pheochromocytoma was diagnosed by a 2 × 2 24-hour urine collection, computerized axial tomography and MIBG scintigraphy. The patient was suppressed with phenoxybenzamine hydrochloride and propanolol for three weeks and was subsequently laparoscopically adrenalectomized on her left side.
