Pheochromocytoma: A Cause of Anemia

Abstract

Patients with a Pheochromocytoma usually present with intractable hypertension, postural hypotension, headaches and palpitations, with intractable hypertension being the predominant symptom. When the tumor is located in the urinary bladder, symptoms may be induced by micturition. Herein, we report a young patient with a urinary bladder Pheochromocytoma without hypertension or symptoms induced by micturition. Instead, she presented with anemia.
