Since pheochromocytomas result in a curable form of hypertension, there should be an awareness of its diagnostic features. These include the following: paroxysmal hypertension, paroxysmal vasomotor phenomena, hypermetabolism with loss of weight or elevation of the basal metabolic rate, and “diabetes” with hyperglycemia and glycosuria.

Pheochromocytoma, a relatively rare (<0.05% of hypertensives), catecholamine‐secreting tumor, is almost always lethal unless recognized and appropriately treated. Clinical and biochemical manifestations are mainly caused by excess circulating catecholamines and hypertension.

Targeting heat shock protein 90 for the treatment of malignant pheochromocytoma. [PDF]
Metastatic pheochromocytoma represents one of the major clinical challenges in the field of neuroendocrine oncology. Recent molecular characterization of pheochromocytoma suggests new treatment options with targeted therapies.

Abstract Pheochromocytomas are rare tumors originating in the adrenal medulla. They may be sporadic or in the context of a hereditary syndrome. A considerable number of pheochromocytomas carry germline or somatic gene mutations, which are inherited in the autosomal dominant way. All patients should undergo genetic testing.

Pheochromocytoma with Takotsubo Syndrome and acute heart failure: a case report
Background Pheochromocytoma is a neuroendocrine tumor that can overproduce catecholamines. Heart failure and Takotsubo Syndrome (TTS) caused by excessive catecholamines are uncommon pheochromocytoma complications.

ObjectivePheochromocytoma is a rare catecholamine-producing neuroendocrine tumour originating from the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla or extra-adrenal paraganglia. However, there are few bibliometric studies on Pheochromocytoma.

Pheochromocytomas are catecholamine-secreting tumors derived from chromaffin tissue of the adrenal medulla. Closely related tumors, called extra-adrenal paragangliomas, can arise at extra-adrenal sites. Catecholamine secretion from these tumors is often episodic, causing headache, perspiration, palpitations and hypertension.
