Overview
The incidence of pheochromocytoma ranges from a low of 0.2 per 100,000 persons to a high of 0.8 per 100,000 persons. The average age at diagnosis is 24.9 years in familial (hereditary) cases and 43.9 years in sporadic cases. There is no gender predilection for pheochromocytoma.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- In the USA, the incidence of pheochromocytoma ranges from a low of 0.2 per 100,000 persons to a high of 0.8 per 100,000 persons.[1].
- Annually reported cases range from 500 to 1600 in the United States.[2]
- Autopsy studies have discovered a higher number of cases than the actual prevalence rates.10 percent of pheochromocytomas are discovered by chance.
Age
- The peak incidence of pheochromocytoma occurs in third to fifth decades of life; the average age at diagnosis is 24.9 years in hereditary cases and 43.9 years in sporadic cases.[1]
- Hereditary tumors present at a younger age than sporadic.
- Approximately 10% occur in children.
Race
- Pheochromocytomas occur all races but less in black.
