The 13 pages that link to Pheochromocytoma, each with the reason it gives.

• CatecholamineBroader topic: Excess epinephrine or norepinephrine can produce episodic hypertension and other symptoms.

• Adrenal medullaBroader topic: This tumor can cause episodic or sustained excess secretion from medullary tissue.

• Adrenal glandRelated: This medullary tumor can cause episodic surges in blood pressure and heart rate.

• AdrenalineRelated: Excess adrenaline secretion can produce episodic hypertension, palpitations, and sweating.

• Chromaffin cellsBroader topic: This tumor directly arises from the cell type and can amplify its hormonal output.

• AdrenalectomyRelated: Adrenalectomy can remove the source of dangerous hormone surges.

• Succinate dehydrogenaseRelated: Germline mutations affecting succinate dehydrogenase can predispose to this tumor.

• ParagangliomaCompared with: This closely related tumor arises within the adrenal gland; paraganglioma arises outside it.

• Hot flashCompared with: Episodic sweating and palpitations may mimic hot flashes and warrant a different evaluation.

• Carcinoid syndromeCompared with: Its episodic flushing and cardiovascular symptoms can resemble attacks in this syndrome.

• Von Hippel–Lindau diseaseBroader topic: VHL surveillance includes testing for this potentially dangerous hormone-secreting tumor.

• Chromaffin SystemBroader topic: This tumor arises from the system’s adrenal component.

• HyperaldosteronismCompared with: It is another adrenal cause of hypertension, but involves catecholamines rather than aldosterone.
