  • Resumen
    • Pheochromocytomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors. Extra-adrenal lesions arising from the autonomic neural ganglia are termed paraganglioma. Clinical symptoms are common between the adrenal and extra-adrenal forms and are determined by excess secretion of catecholamines. Hypertension is a critical and often dramatic feature of pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma, and its most prevalent reported symptom. However, given the rare occurrence of this cancer, in patients undergoing screening for hypertension, the prevalence ranges from 0.1% to 0.6%. Still, patients frequently come to the attention of endocrinologist when pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma is suspected as a secondary cause of hypertension. This article summarizes current clinical approaches in patients with pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma.
