AB - Simultaneous presentation of pheochromocytoma and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is uncommon and
poses unique challenges. Based on the rare case reports, there may be an association with AAA development
and rupture. The approach to these separate lesions requires medical management to prevent hypertensive
crisis and cardiovascular collapse, decision whether to approach the pheochromocytoma laparoscopically
or by open approaches, the decision to approach the AAA by open or endovascular repair (EVAR) and the
sequence and timing of repair. We present a case of a female who had a biochemically active but clinical
benign pheochromocytoma in conjunction with an AAA that was repaired simultaneously by an open
approach
