Abstract
Two cases of postoperative death due to unsuspected pheochromocytoma are presented. Both patients exhibited signs and symptoms preoperatively which might have been attributable to a pheochromocytoma. These reports serve as a reminder of the potentially fatal consequences of inadequate evaluation of hypertensive patients before surgery.Keywords
