A high index of suspicion for pheochromocytoma is necessary during the workup of secondary hypertension as untreated pheochromocytoma may lead to significant morbidity and mortality, especially in patients who require any surgical treatment.

Carotid Body Tumor: Incidental Discovery and Diagnosis.

Internal Medicine, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, El Paso, USA.
Carotid body tumors (CBTs), rare neuroendocrine neoplasms near the carotid bifurcation, are mostly asymptomatic but may cause discomfort and autonomic dysfunction. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is used for diagnosis, eliminating the need for a biopsy to avoid the risk of hemorrhage. Surgical excision is the preferred treatment, while radiotherapy is an option when surgery is impractical.

: Hemodynamic instability is common during adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL). Most analyses focus on the risk factors for intraoperative hypertension, but hypotension is a frequent and undesirable phenomenon during PPGL surgery. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors for hypotensive episodes during the removal of PPGL, and whether these episodes are always associated with concomitant intraoperative hypertensive events.

Background: Approximately 30-40% of paragangliomas (PGLs) and pheochromocytomas (PCCs) harbor an underlying hereditary cause. Early identification of at-risk individuals is imperative given the early onset, aggressiveness of tumors, and other tumor/cancer risks associated with hereditary PGLs/PCCs. This study analyzes the clinical presentations and genetic histories of patients with PGL/PCC and/or hereditary risk to contribute to the expanding knowledge in this rare population.
