Abstract

Primary pheochromocytomas of the heart are extremely uncommon. In this report, we present the case of a patient with primary cardiac pheochromocytoma arising from the interatrial septum. Metaiodobenzylguanidine-scintigraphy was negative and diagnosis was confirmed by a positive octreotide scintiscan. The tumor was removed successfully using cardiopulmonary bypass.
