Abstract
More than one third of 22 pheochromocytoma patients were 10% or more overweight. Half of these were frankly obese. With one exception, all the overweight patients were usually normotensive, with superimposed paroxysms of hypertension. In contrast, 9 of the 14 normal or underweight patients with this tumor were persistently hypertensive. There were no differences between the overweight normotensive and normal weight hypertensive subjects with respect to chief complaint, troublesome symptoms, other physical findings or laboratory data.Keywords
