AB  - Pheochromocytomas  and  paragangliomas  are  catecholamine-producing  tumors  derived  from  the  sympathetic  or  parasympathetic  nervous  system.  These  tumors  may  arise  sporadically  or  be  inherited  as  features  of  multiple  endocrine  neoplasia  type  2,  von  Hippel–Lindau  disease,  or  several  other  pheochromocytoma-associated  syndromes.  The  diagnosis  of  pheochromocytomas  identifies  a  potentially  correctable  cause  of  hypertension,  and  their  removal  can  prevent  hypertensive  crises  that  can  be  lethal.  The  clinical  presentation  is  variable,  ranging  from  an  adrenal  incidentaloma  to  a  hypertensive  crisis  with  associated  cerebrovascular  or  cardiac  complications.
