Abstract
An adult with unoperated tetralogy of Fallot diagnosed simultaneously with pheochromocytoma is extremely rare. This poses obvious diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. A 29-year-old woman with these conditions was successfully operated on for both diseases in the same hospitalization. There is some interesting speculation regarding the association of pheochromocytoma with uncorrected cyanotic congenital heart disease.Entities:
