Background: Clinical and biochemical follow up after surgery for phaeochromocytoma is essential with long term studies demonstrating recurrence frequencies between 6% and 23%.
Aim: To examine the characteristics and frequency of tumour recurrence in a regional endocrine referral centre, in patients with surgical resection of phaeochromocytoma (P) and abdominal paraganglioma (AP).
Methods: We identified a cohort of 52 consecutive patients who attended our Regional Endocrinology & Diabetes Centre and retrospectively reviewed their clinical, biochemical and radiological data (between 2002 and 2013).
