The American Journal of Surgery, 1962 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.

Anesthesiology, 1978 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.

Endocrine Regulations, 2019 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.

Clinical Chemistry, 2013 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.

Is It a Pheochromocytoma? [PDF]
The Journal of Clinical Hypertension, 2007 The patient is a 44‐year‐old man with a 4‐year history of intermittently elevated blood pressure (BP) controlled by diet and exercise. Three months before evaluation he described daily “spikes” of BP with sharp unilateral headaches. He was seen in the emergency department with a BP of 212/106 mm Hg and was started on hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg daily ...

Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas [PDF]
Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2021 Purpose of review Great progress has been made in understanding the genetic and molecular basis of pheochromocytoma and paragangliomas (PPGLs). This review highlights the new standards in the diagnosis and management of pediatric PPGLs. Recent findings The vast majority of pediatric

Global Pediatric Health, 2021 Secondary hypertension in children, to the rare extent, can be caused by endocrine factors such as pheochromocytoma, an adrenal tumor that secretes catecholamine. Only a few cases have been reported in the past 3 decades.

Journal of Pediatric Research, 2018 Pheochromocytoma is a rare disease that is characterized by the increased production and secretion of catecholamines from the adrenal medulla. The disease is autosomal dominant, and frequently sporadic and unilateral. Pheochromocytoma, which is diagnosed

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2017 Neurofibromatosis type 1 is a complex, multi-system genetic disorder that is associated with an increased prevalence of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma compared to the general population, 1.0%–5.7% versus 0.2%–0.6%, respectively.

International Journal of Endocrinology, 2018 Pheochromocytoma is very rare at a pediatric age, and when it is present, the probability of a causative genetic mutation is high. Due to high costs of genetic surveys and an increasing number of genes associated with pheochromocytoma, a sequential ...
