چکیده
Tumours arising in the chemoreceptor system are termed chemodectomas. Intrathoracic chemodectoma is a rare tumour, only 74 cases having been described by 1977.1 Systemic catecholamine secretion by an intrathoracic chemodectoma is very uncommon andwe have been able to trace only one other published case report of proven catecholamine secretion. We describe a second case and discuss briefly these interesting tumours.
