Pheochromocytoma is a rare tumour which is usually suggested by sustained or paroxysmal hypertension however the spectrum of the presentation of pheochromocytoma continues to expand and hypertension may be absent despite excess catecholamine secretion. The normotensive pheochromocytoma is a distinct entity and as in the case we report the presentation was quite unique as well as the intraoperative behaviour was stormy.
