NIH Rare Diseases: Pheochromocytomas are rare tumors of the adrenal glands, which are located right above the kidneys. Although they are usually not cancerous (benign), pheochromocytomas often cause the adrenal glands to make too many stress hormones called epinephrines and norepinephrines. This can lead to high blood pressure and cause symptoms such as severe headaches, irritability, sweating, rapid heart rate, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, weakness, chest pain, and a feeling of anxiety. Rarely, this kind of tumor occurs outside the adrenal gland, usually somewhere in the abdomen, and are called extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas or paragangliomas. Pheochromocytomas can occur in certain familial genetic syndromes.30
MalaCards: Pheochromocytoma, also known as chromaffin paraganglioma, is related to paraganglioma and multiple endocrine neoplasia. An important gene associated with Pheochromocytoma is SDHB (succinate dehydrogenase complex, subunit B, iron sulfur (Ip)), and among its related pathways are Development_GDNF family signaling and Development FGFR signaling pathway. The drugs propranolol and propranolol hydrochloride and the compounds calcium and forskolin have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include brain, liver and kidney, and related mouse phenotypes are nervous system and behavior/neurological. MedlinePlus: Pheochromocytoma is a rare tumor that usually starts in the cells of one of your adrenal glands. although they are usually benign, pheochromocytomas often cause the adrenal gland to make too many hormones. this can lead to high blood pressure and cause symptoms such as headaches sweating pounding of the heart chest pain a feeling of anxiety sometimes pheochromocytoma is part of another condition called multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome (men). people with men often have other cancers and other problems involving hormones. surgery is the most common treatment. other options include radiation therapy and chemotherapy. nih: national cancer institute23 Wikipedia: A pheochromocytoma or phaeochromocytoma (PCC) is a neuroendocrine tumor of the medulla of the adrenal...44 more...
