Pheochromocytoma is a rare, primarily benign tumor that arises from the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla. It is known for causing excessive secretion of catecholamines, such as epinephrine and norepinephrine. This condition poses significant health risks due to its potential to cause severe cardiovascular complications, including hypertension, stroke, and various forms of cardiomyopathy.

Von Hippel-Lindau Syndrome (VHL) is a rare, hereditary disorder characterized by the development of multiple tumors and cysts in various parts of the body due to mutations in the VHL gene on chromosome 3p25-26. Patients with VHL are at increased risk for hemangioblastomas of the brain, spinal cord, and retina, renal cell carcinomas, pheochromocytomas, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and endolymphatic sac tumors. Clinical manifestations vary widely, and early diagnosis through genetic testing and regular surveillance is crucial for effective management.

Background: Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) comprise a group of rare tumors originating from neuroendocrine cells, which are present in both endocrine glands and scattered throughout the body. Due to their scarcity and absence of specific markers, diagnosing NENs remains a complex challenge. Therefore, new biomarkers are required, ideally, in easy-to-obtain blood samples.

The primary management in the care of patients with adrenal incidentalomas is to determine the oncologic risk, namely, the possibility of malignancy. The first place among adrenal incidentaloma lesions requiring diagnosis and treatment promptly is adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC). Similarly, in the case of pheochromocytoma, the lack of early diagnosis worsens the patient's prognosis.

Intriguingly, an incidental finding of an adrenal nodule prompted investigation, leading to the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. Surgical intervention confirmed the presence of pheochromocytoma and parathyroid carcinoma.
