Introduction<br />
Phaeochromocytomas are catecholamjne-producing neoplasms<br />
of the sympathetic nervous system which account for less than<br />
0.1% of cases of hypertension (Jebara et at., 1992).<br />
Phaeochromocytomas may be intrathoracic in 1-2% of cases,<br />
usually in the posterior mediastinum, and rarely in the heart<br />
(Jebara et at., 1992; Fitzgerald et at., 1995; Jeevanandam et at.,<br />
1995; Lin et at., 1999). Cardiac phaeochromocytomas occur<br />
with approximately equal frequency in both sexes, with a mean<br />
age at presentation of 36-40 years (Jebara et at., 1992;<br />
JJeevanandarn d et t at., t 1995). 1995) WWe report t a case of f a 25-year-old<br />
25 ld<br />
woman with a cardiac phaeochromocytoma.
