What is Understanding Pheochromocytoma Symptoms about?
Pheochromocytoma is a catecholamine-producing tumor that originates from chromaffin cells of the adrenergic system. Symptoms include sustained or paroxysmal hypertension, headache, palpitations, and hyperhidrosis. Laboratory tests such as plasma-free metanephrines and 24-hour urine collection for metanephrines can confirm diagnosis. Imaging studies including CT, MRI, MIBG scintigraphy, and PET are used to locate the tumor, which is usually in the adrenal gland. Surgical resection is the treatment.
