• Ectopic pheochromocytoma
• Misdiagnosis
• Retrospective research

We report here the course and treatment of a patient with ectopic pheochromocytoma. The patient was cured after treatment with respiratory and circulatory support, multiple-organ protection, and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) for approximately 2 weeks. After misdiagnosis, a patient with ectopic pheochromocytoma who is being treated should undergo aggressive fluid supplementation and CRRT instead of central venous pressure measurement, which has limited value in guiding fluid supplementation. The main priority is maintaining hypotension. Hypertension may be controlled with rapid-acting agents. A good outcome can be anticipated for patients who undergo comprehensive intensive care unit therapy.
