Popis:	Pheochromocytomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors that arise from the adrenal medulla and rarely from extra-adrenal locations. Although rare, they are potentially lethal tumors [1]. The pathognomonic biochemical features of these tumors are markedly elevated plasma catecholamines and their metabolites. The high plasma catecholamines are the reasons for the hypertension seen in patients with these tumors.
