Abstract
Emesis is a common symptom in pheochromocytoma. It occurs in 26% of cases with permanent secretion, and 43% of cases with paroxystic secretion. Emesis may be the initial manifestation as in the present report of a 54-year-old female patient. For more than 15 years she experienced emesis which was ascribed to biliary dyskinesia. Bilateral pheochromocytoma was then diagnosed. With reference to this case, digestive manifestations of pheochromocytoma are reviewed.
