Malignant pheochromocytomas are very rare tumors characterized by high morbidity and mortality and therapeutic difficulties.

We report observations of a man and a woman who presented malignant pheochromocytoma discovered during the exploration of malignant hypertension. Laboratory tests confirmed the secretory nature of the mass. Malignancy was affirmed by the existence of hepatic and bone metastases during the initial radiological investigation in a case and during evolution in the other case.
