Overview
Pheochromocytoma arises from chromaffin cells, found in adrenal medulla which secrete adrenaline, noradrenaline, and dopamine. Majority of pheochromocytomas are sporadic (50-60 percent), others are familial. Familial forms can be sub-divided into two major clusters based on genes causing the disease. Cluster 1 tumors are noradrenergic and cluster 2 tumors are adrenergic. Familial pheochromocytoma may be caused by a mutation of either SDHD, VHL, SDHB, RET, NF1 genes.
Causes
- Majority of pheochromocytomas are sporadic (50-60 percent), others are familial.
- Approximately 10 percent of pheochromocytoma tumors are malignant. Common sites of spread are the base of skull, head, and neck.
- Familial causes can be sub-divided into two major clusters based on genes causing the disease.[1]
