Abstract
Specific and sensitive biochemical techniques can usually establish the diagnosis, and new radiologic techniques aid in tumor localization. These catecholamine-producing tumors must be considered in the differential diagnosis of hypertension, adrenal masses, or episodic sweating, pallor, anxiety, headaches, and palpitations. Surgical resection is curative in most cases.Keywords
