Abstract
Pheochromocytoma, is rare neuroendocrine tumor arising from chromaffin cellş in the adrenal medulla or in other paraganglionic cells of the sympathetic nervous system, is associated with high degree of morbidity and mortality if not recognized. Principal clinic presentation is hypertension. 10% of tumors are malign. Diagnosis should be confirmed with the measurement of vanilylmandelic acid and total metanephrine in urine. Computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and labelled metoiodobenzylguanidine MIBG scanning could be used for tumor localization. After pretreatment with an α-blocker to prevent dangerous hemodynamic fluctuation; complete surgical resection should be recommended for primary tumor and metastasis if it is possible. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy as standard treatment procedure for many adrenal diseases, has taken the place of open surgery.
