Pheochromocytoma is a rare catecholamine-secreting mass which can lead to life-threatening cardiovascular complications and should be resected if confirmed. A 21- year-old male without any history of hypertension presented with congestive heart failure (HF) caused by pheochromocytoma-related cardiomyopathy; he was discovered to have hypertension at follow-up. A welldefined and uniform density mass was observed in his right adrenal region and confirmed to be pheochromocytoma.

Purpose: Pheochromocytomas are rare tumors and biochemically silent ones with normal catecholamine levels are even rarer. Up to date, biochemically inactive pheochromocytomas are poorly investigated. We aimed to systematically assess the pre- and peri-operative characteristics and the outcomes of patients with these tumors who had been treated and followed-up in 2 tertiary centers.

Therapeutic strategy utilizing mechanical circulatory supports in patients with pheochromocytoma-related cardiogenic shock remains unestablished. We had a 51-year-old man with acute decompensated heart failure due to pheochromocytoma crisis. He received a percutaneous left ventricular assist device-supported alpha-blocker and intensive fluid infusion therapy, which ameliorated impaired end-organ dysfunction, maintaining hemodynamics and achieving cardiac recovery, followed by the successfully scheduled adrenalectomy.

Pheochromocytoma is a rare catecholamine-secreting neuroendocrine tumor arising from chromaffin cells. Acute catecholamine-mediated cardiomyopathy secondary to pheochromocytoma is rare, but life-threatening. We report a case of a 50-year-old man who presented with chest pain with electrocardiography showing ST elevation in V2-4.
