Un varón de 54 años ingresó en nuestro hospital para estudio de hipertensión arterial, diabetes y una masa torácica posterior. Había presentado en el curso de los dos meses anteriores crisis de cefaleas, palpitaciones y sudación, y tras crisis hipertensiva se detecta masa torácica en la radiografía de tórax y se decide ingreso para completar estudio. Se realizan diversas técnicas de imagen y estudio bioquímico, concluyéndose que la masa es un feocromocitoma torácico. Tras exéresis de la misma se controla la tensión arterial, desaparece la diabetes y un año después de la cirugía permanece asintomático.

A 54-year-old male was admitted to our hospital for the study of arterial hypertension, diabetes and a posterior thoracic mass. Attacks of headaches, palpitations and sweating had occured during the previous two months. Following a hypertensive crisis, a thoracic mass is detected in a chest X-ray and it is decided that he should be admitted to the hospital for further study. Various imaging techniques and biochemical studies are performed, with the conclusion that the mass is a thoracic pheochromocytoma. After surgically removing such mass, blood pressure is controlled, the diabetes disappears, and the patient no longer shows any symptoms one year after surgery.
