A diagnostic puzzle: when pheochromocytoma meets tuberculosis!

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: The association between tuberculosis and pheochromocytoma is extremely rare, although their clinical manifestations may overlap. This report presents a case of pheochromocytoma associated with pulmonary tuberculosis. Such an uncommon coexistence highlights the importance of considering infectious etiologies when evaluating adrenal pathology, particularly in regions where tuberculosis is endemic, underlines the critical role of radiological imaging in identifying dual pathology and ensuring appropriate management.
