Paldus V, Šámal V, Mečl J. Rare life-threatening bleeding due to spontaneous rupture of extraadrenal pheochromocytoma. We present a case report of rare life-threatening bleeding due to spontaneous rupture of an extraadrenal pheochromocytoma - paraganglioma. A thirty eight year-old patient with developing hemorhagic shock underwent emergency surgery due to life-threatening spontaneous retroperitoneal bleeding with surprising finding - histologically verified extraadrenal pheochromocytoma.
Keywords: Extraadrenal pheochromocytoma, Wunderlich's syndrome, spontaneous bleeding into retroperitoneum.
