Pheochromocytoma

Pheochromocytoma (PCC) is a tumor of the adrenal glands or sympathetic nervous system. Most cases arises from the inner part (also known as the medulla) of the adrenal gland and can have an effect on the epinephrine/adrenalin hormone secretion of the gland. It is often benign with a low risk of metastatic spread. However, due to the impact of the adrenalin hormone secretion on the cardiovascular system of the body, it can result in a life threatening condition if not treated properly.
