| Video Discription | *What is Pheochromocytoma?* Pheochromocytoma (PCC) is a rare, usually benign, tumor of the adrenal gland that produces excess catecholamines (adrenaline and noradrenaline). This leads to hypertension, cardiovascular complications, and other symptoms. *Types:* 1. *Adrenal Pheochromocytoma*: Occurs in the adrenal gland. 2. *Extra-Adrenal Pheochromocytoma* (Paraganglioma): Occurs outside the adrenal gland, often in the abdomen or chest. *Causes and Risk Factors:* 1. Genetic mutations (e.g., MEN2, VHL, NF1) 2. Family history 3. Previous radiation exposure 4. Certain medical conditions (e.g., multiple endocrine neoplasia) *Symptoms:* 1. Hypertension (high blood pressure) 2. Headaches 3. Palpitations 4. Sweating 5. Tremors 6. Nausea and vomiting 7. Weight loss 8. Anxiety and panic attacks 9. Weakness and fatigue *Diagnosis:* 1. Physical examination 2. Medical history 3. Laboratory tests: - Urine tests (metanephrines) - Blood tests (catecholamines) - Imaging studies (CT, MRI, PET) 4. Genetic testing (if familial) *Treatment:* 1. Surgery (adrenalectomy or tumor resection) 2. Preoperative medical management: - Alpha-blockers (e.g., phenoxybenzamine) - Beta-blockers (e.g., propranolol) 3. Postoperative care: - Monitoring for hypertension and hypotension - Hormone replacement therapy (if necessary) *Complications:* 1. Cardiovascular events (stroke, heart attack) 2. Hypertensive crisis 3. Cardiac arrhythmias 4. Kidney damage 5. Metastasis (rarely) *Prognosis:* 1. Benign tumors: excellent prognosis after surgery 2. Malignant tumors: variable prognosis depending on tumor stage and response to treatment *Follow-up Care:* 1. Regular blood pressure monitoring 2. Periodic imaging studies 3. Hormone level checks 4. Genetic counseling (if familial) Sources: 1. National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) 2. American Cancer Society 3. Mayo Clinic 4. European Society of Endocrinology |
