RESUMO
El feocromocitoma es una causa poco frecuente de cardiopatía isquémica. Presentamos el caso de una paciente en la que se diagnostica de un feocromocitoma a raíz de una cardiopatía isquémica con ausencia de lesiones coronarias, demostrando la importancia de tenerlo en cuenta en el diagnóstico diferencial en estos casos, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que disponemos de un tratamiento curativo.
