Abstract

Phaeochromocytomas and paragangliomas are relatively uncommon tumours which may be manifest in many ways, specifically as sustained or paroxysmal hypertension, episodes of palpitations, sweating, headache and anxiety, or increasingly as an incidental finding. Recent studies have shown that an increasing number are due to germline mutations. This review concentrates on the diagnosis, biochemistry and treatment of these fascinating tumours.
