Two Cases of Hereditary Paraganglioma-Pheochromocytoma Syndrome in Siblings, Caused by a Novel Succinate Dehydrogenase Complex Subunit D Variant. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas are increasingly recognized as hereditary malignancies, with ~30%–40% of cases involving germline variants. We report a familial case of hereditary pheochromocytoma‐paraganglioma syndrome caused by a novel variant in the SDHD gene.

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.

Who can safely discontinue lifelong follow-up among patients with sporadic pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma? [PDF]
Abstract Background Current guidelines recommend at least 10 years of follow‐up for all pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) patients and lifelong monitoring for high‐risk individuals. Nonetheless, data identifying patients who may not require routine lifelong follow‐up are scarce. Methods Among 999 patients with PPGL, 703 who were non‐metastatic,

Pheochromocytoma – clinical manifestations, diagnosis and current perioperative management [PDF]
Pheochromocytoma is a neuroendocrine tumor characterized by the excessive production of catecholamines (epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine). The diagnosis is suspected due to hypertensive paroxysms, associated with vegetative phenomena, due to the

Abstract Objectives Acute cerebral ischemia is characterized by several pathological processes evolving during time, which contribute to the final tissue damage. Secondary processes, such as prolonged inflammatory response, impaired mitochondrial function and oxidative stress, are responsible for the progression of brain injury to the peri‐infarct area,

Analysis of short-term blood pressure variability in pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma patients [PDF]

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.
