Abstract:
A 19-year old man presented with acute onset of intractable hypertension with associated dizziness and nausea. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a 7.0cm x 6.27cm x 6.0cm suprarenal mass on the right. The patient was diagnosed to have pheochromocytoma and successfully underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy.
