A 33 years old woman was investigated for paroxystic hypertension worsened by bêta-adrenergic blocking drugs therapy. Clinical investigation revealed cutaneous abnormalities with erythemato-macular eruption on dorsalis faces of both hands. These lesions were histologically non specific with capillaritis and oedema. angiography revealed a left sided pheochromocytoma. Cutaneous abnormalities disappear after intervention. Pheochromocytoma is rarely associated with cutaneous disease: most papers describe intermittent "flush" phenomenon. Permanent lesions are non fréquent: erythrocyanosis, rash with nodosities or macular lesions, restricted places of necorsis, distal necorsis, hypochromic lesions.
