Abstract

Pheochromocytomas are extremely rare, usually non-malignant, tumors that develop in adrenal glands and result in excessive catecholamine production. Tumors usually present with paroxysmal or persistent hypertension, severe headache, palpitations, excessive swe-ating, tremors, and anxiety. Diagnosis is based on biochemical tests measuring catechola-mines or their metabolites in urine or plasma and radiological imaging. The GAPP (Grading of Adrenal Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma) and PASS (Pheochromocytoma of the Adrenal Gland Scaled Score) grading systems help assess malignancy and recurrence.
