“…Although cardiogenic pulmonary edema has been described frequently as a presenting feature of pheochromocytoma, noncardiogenic pulmonary edema is an exceedingly rare manifestation of pheochromocytoma. Only ten cases including the current case have been reported (Table 1) (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). The mechanisms underlying the development of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema may include pulmonary capillary membrane damage and catecholamine constriction of capillary venules.…”

Pulmonary edema, both cardiogenic and noncardiogenic, has been reported as a manifestation of pheochromocytoma. We report a patient with pheochromocytoma complicated by acute pulmonary edema that appeared clinically noncardiogenic. The patient had an uncomplicated course and rapid resolution of pulmonary edema. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (BALF) showed a marked accumulation of neutrophils, suggesting involvement of neutrophil-mediated lung injury in noncardiogenic pulmonary edema associated with a pheochromocytoma.

“…L'oedème pulmonaire non-cardiogénique peut être la seule manifestation d'un phéochromocytome [5][6][7]. Une hyperperméabilité de la membrane alvéolocapillaire secondaire et une hypertension pulmonaire isolée secondaire à l'excès de catécho-lamines sont des facteurs pathogéniques en cause.…”

“…Its severity indicates a very bad prognosis [6,15,16,30]. The intense sympathetic stimulation generates an opening of the pulmonary capillaries and an alveolar¯ooding causing a so-called neurogenic pulmonary oedema [2,29]. Moreover, tachycardia entails a signi®cant fall in the venous return, which potentates heart failure and leads to an abrupt rise in the myocardial oxygen demand.…”

Fatal form of phaeochromocytoma presenting as acute pyelonephritis

et al. 2001

We report the case of a young man who presented with a clinical picture of acute pyelonephritis. Within 3 h of admission, the patient developed acute respiratory distress associated with tachycardia and shock, and he was transferred to the intensive care unit. Mechanical ventilation of the lungs and symptomatic treatment were started immediately. Abdominal ultrasound revealed the presence of an adrenal tumour with central necrosis indicating a probable phaeochromocytoma. There was no sign of pyelonephritis. Ventricular fibrillation followed by asystole occurred soon after admission. The suddenness of the patient's death did not allow time for further investigation and therapy. The severity of the clinical signs was probably related to a massive release of catecholamines because of necrosis of the tumour, which may have been worsened by the diagnostic procedures performed to investigate the clinical symptoms and signs of acute pyelonephritis.
