LOPEZ FERRANDIS, J. et al. Pheochromocytoma with thrombus in cava. []. , 29, 3, pp.281-286. ISSN 0210-4806.

Pheochromocytoma, a paraganglioma of suprarenal location, is a catecholamine-secreting chromaffin cell tumour. Spread of these tumours to the vena cava is rare and the thrombus only reaches the right atrium in exceptional cases. We present the case of a patient who, without previous symptomatology, presented with a clinical picture of multiorganic dysfunction with primary manifestation of a suprarenal tumour with vascular spread to the right atrium affecting the right suprahepatic vein.
