AB  - Pheochromocytomas  and  paragangliomas  are  catecholamine-producing  tumors  derived  from  the  sympathetic  or  parasympathetic  nervous  system.  These  tumors  may  arise  sporadically  or  be  inherited  as  features  of  multiple  endocrine  neoplasia  type  2  (MEN  2)  or  several  other  pheochromocytoma-associated  syndromes.  The  diagnosis  of  pheochromocytomas  provides  a  potentially  correctable  cause  of  hypertension,  and  their  removal  can  prevent  hypertensive  crises  that  can  be  lethal.  The  clinical  presentation  is  variable,  ranging  from  an  adrenal  incidentaloma  to  a  patient  in  hypertensive  crisis  with  associated  cerebrovascular  or  cardiac  complications.
