ABSTRACT
Post-COVID-19 syndrome is a set of symptoms and signs that persist for more than 12 weeks after COVID-19 infection and currently lacks a standardised clinical definition. Only one case has been reported in which a pheochromocytoma was mistaken for post-COVID-19 syndrome. The symptomatology of this syndrome is variable and ranges from headache and fatigue to persistent dyspnoea and neurocognitive disturbances. In addition, SARS-CoV-2 can affect the autonomic nervous system, contributing to symptoms resembling those of pheochromocytoma. The importance and need to discern between COVID-19-related symptoms and other conditions is emphasised, as the specificity of the clinical manifestations of post-COVID-19 syndrome is very low and can be confused with other vital pathologies. A case is presented in which a pheochromocytoma was mistaken for post-COVID-19 syndrome in a patient with no medical history.
