Abstract
We report a case of a right adrenal pheochromocytoma with prominent anterolateral displacement of the inferior vena cava. A right ipsilateral anterior subcostal incision extending from the xiphoid process to the 11th intercostal space allowed for wide upward retraction of the right costal arch. This incision is useful for easy mobilization of the liver and manipulation of the inferior vena cava without thoracotomy.Keywords
