PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA
Abstract
Annotation: Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas are catechol- amine-producing tumors derived rom the sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous system. T ese tumors may arise sporadically or be inherited as eatures o mul- tiple endocrine neoplasia type 2, von Hippel–Lindau disease, or several other pheochromocytoma-associ- ated syndromes. T e diagnosis o pheochromocytomas identi es a potentially correctable cause o hyperten- sion, and their removal can prevent hypertensive crises that can be lethal. T e clinical presentation is variable, ranging rom an adrenal incidentaloma to a hyperten- sive crisis with associated cerebrovascular or cardiac complications.
