Pheochromocytomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors. The catecholamine-secreting tumors make patients prone to life-threatening cardiovascular complications like uncontrolled hypertension, dysrhythmias, cardiac ischemia, and myocardial dysfunction. The goal of preoperative medication is to normalize blood pressure and heart rate, optimize glucose and electrolytes, and assess other end organ functions (cardiomyopathy) for better perioperative outcomes in patients. About one-fifth to one-third of patients lead to cardiovascular complications, which is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Rarely, these patients present with myocarditis/cardiogenic shock in a preoperative period, which needs urgent medical treatment and management. We present a case of a 47-year-old female scheduled to undergo adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma, who presented with myocarditis preoperatively and was well managed with magnesium sulfate.
