Left ventricular hypertrophy simulating hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy is a rare complication of pheochromocytoma. In this report, two cases of pheochromocytoma with this complication are described. Successful tumor removal in both cases led to relief of symptoms, normalization of BP, regression of abnormal clinical features, normalization of the ECGs, but only partial regression of the echocardiographic features despite prolonged follow-up of 24 and 32 months, respectively.
