This document provides an overview of pheochromocytoma, including: 1) Pheochromocytoma is a rare tumor of the chromaffin cells in the adrenal medulla that causes uncontrolled hypertension due to overproduction of catecholamines. 2) Clinical manifestations of pheochromocytoma result from paroxysmal or sustained hypertension and include headaches, sweating, palpitations, and blurred vision. 3) Diagnosis involves abdominal imaging tests revealing an adrenal mass, and demonstrating elevated blood pressure and catecholamines.
