An unusual cause of toe necrosis

Indian J Endocrinol Metab. 2013 Jan;17(1):160-2. doi: 10.4103/2230-8210.107872.

Abstract

Peripheral vascular disease is a rare feature of pheochromocytoma. This potentially catastrophic but curable tumor should be suspected in combination of distal necrosis with hypertension and palpable pulses. We report such an unusual case of pheochromocytoma presenting as toe necrosis.

Keywords: Catecholamine; peripheral vascular disease; pheochromocytoma; toe necrosis.
