Pheochromocytoma, diagnosis and treatment: Review of the literature.

CONCLUSIONS: The biggest problem for pheochromocytoma is to suspect it in the first place. Elevated metanephrines establish the diagnosis. With the proper preoperative preparation the risks during operation and the postoperative period are minimal. If there is a risk of the hereditable mutation, it is strongly suggested that all the patients with pheochromocytoma need clinical genetic testing. PMID: 28858847 [PubMed - in process]
