A 29-year-old man with von Recklinghausen's disease suddenly developed severe epigastric pain and was admitted to hospital. Physical examination revealed elevated blood pressure (200/130 mmHg) and tachycardia (162 bpm). Initially, he was suspected to have

, and appendectomy was performed immediately; however,

was not demonstrable pathologically. Retroperitoneal hematoma was found incidentally during the operation. Further clinical and laboratory examination demonstrated a marked increase in the urinary excretion of catecholamines. There was no evidence of pheochromocytoma on computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging; however, these imaging studies simply showed a hematoma at the right adrenal gland.
