Spontaneous resolution of a patient with a symptomatic pheochromocytoma

A 56-year-old woman presents with a two-year history of chronic persistent right upper quadrant abdominal pain that was associated with intermittent nausea, vomiting and unintentional weight loss. She has been on antihypertensive treatment, i.e. hydrochlorothiazide and amlodipine, for two years. Her blood pressure, 125/73mmHg, was well controlled and did not appear to be labile. She had tenderness in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen with no palpable masses. Oral analgesia was prescribed for the pain.
