Hypertensive Urgencies Following Percutaneous Adrenal Mass Biopsy in a Day Surgery Unit: A Case Report

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: We present a case of a 59-year-old female who developed hypertensive urgencies following a percutaneous biopsy of an adrenal mass in a day surgery unit. The patient, with no prior history of hypertension, experienced a significant blood pressure elevation post-procedure, necessitating urgent antihypertensive management. This case underscores the importance of vigilant preoperative evaluation to exclude pheochromocytoma and highlights the potential risks associated with adrenal mass biopsies, particularly in the context of undiagnosed pheochromocytoma.
