[Pheochromocytoma. A case report].

We present the case of a 34 year-old male, who was diagnosed with a malign pheochromocytoma and who was treated with left laparascopic suprarenalectomy. This is a neoplasia of the chromoffin cells with a prevalence of two cases per million inhabitants, which generally causes the typical symptoms of episodic freeing of catecholamines. We describe the case's form of presentation, which began with successive episodes of intense abdominal pain on the left side.
