Presence of malignant pheochromocytoma tumor and coronary artery disease is extremely rare and carry high perioperative risk. The postoperative morbidity and mortality are increased by many folds. In the reference case, adrenal tumor had infiltrated to inferior vena cava (IVC), liver and right kidney. He had associated coronary artery disease. We describe the management of a patient with malignant tumor of adrenal gland undergoing surgical removal with all arrangements for coronary artery bypass grafting and intrathoracic extraction of tumor from IVC. It is a rare example of cardiac patient for non-cardiac surgery.
