Abstract

I hereby present a case of an asymptomatic patient whose catecholamine secreting tumor was diagnosed intraoperatively due to acute high increase in blood pressure on tumor manipulation, thought to be arising from pancreas. The fall in blood pressure was also present on removal on mass. The transient increase in catecholamines also led to pulmonary oedema which was managed accordingly. The fluctuations of blood pressure and heart rate in line with blood catecholamine levels along with other complications like arrhythmias and pulmonary oedema in such cases provide unique challenge to anesthesiologists.
