a tumor of the adrenal medulla and related tissues elsewhere in the body
a tumor that originates from the adrenal gland's chromaffin cells, causing overproduction of catecholamines, powerful hormones that induce high blood pressure and other symptoms
a tumor that usually arises in the adrenal medulla and the patient presents with signs and symptoms of excessive production of catecholamines
a tumor which is usually found in the adrenal gland
a tumor which is usually found in the ad renal gland
tumor of the adrenal medulla often associated with episodic or persistent hypertension; most tumors are benign.
A tumor of the adrenal gland that causes it to produce too much adrenaline. Pheochromocytomas are usually benign (noncancerous), but can cause dangerously high blood pressure and other symptoms, including pounding headaches, heart palpitations, flushing of the face, nausea, and vomiting.
chromaffin cell tumor linked to sustained high blood pressure
A tumor of the adrenal medulla which secretes adrenaline. More about this.
(pheo=dusky) (chromo=color) (cyt=cell) (oma=tumor) a small tumor of chromaffin cells, usually of the adrenal medulla, but occasionally of the chromaffin tissue of sympathetic paraganglia. Functional tumors secrete catecholamines.

A pheochromocytoma is a neuroendocrine tumor of the medulla of the adrenal glands originating in the chromaffin cells, which secretes excessive amounts of catecholamines, usually adrenaline and noradrenaline (epinephrine and norepinephrine in the US). Extra-adrenal paragangliomas (often described as extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas) are closely related, though less common, tumors that originate in the ganglia of the sympathetic nervous system and are named based upon the primary anatomical site of origin. Traditionally it is known as the 10% tumor, since bilateral disease is present in approximately 10% of patients, approximately 10% of tumours are malignant, and approximately 10% are located in cromaffin tissue outside of the adrenal gland.
