A 10-Year Experience of Phemochromocytoma and an Overview to the Literature

Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze the data obtained from the patients having pheochromocytoma and to compare these data with the literature. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the data of 16 cases admitted to our department between 1997 and 2007, and diagnosed as having phemochromocytoma. In ten years period, a total of 16 pheochromocytoma cases, 9 male and 7 female, aged 49.8±14.5 were included. Among 16 cases 14 had an anamnesis of hypertension for 2-8 years and 2 were newly diagnosed as hypertensive in their first admissions. 13 cases had hypertensive attacks and one case had chronic hypertension. A total of 11 patients, 6 of them during the hypertensive attacks, recieved antihipertensive drugs. 5 patients did not have any treatment. Tachycardia (68.7%), sweating (68.7%) and headache (62.5%) were accompanying hypertensive attacks. 14 patients (87.5%) underwent total mass excision surgery, but two patients could not be operated. Ten of the operated cases cured for hypertension, for 4 cases the antihipertensive treatment had to be repeated. Two patients with MEN-2A and one with malign pheochromocytoma died from progression of the disease or acute complications, the other 13 patients are still under follow-up. The patients who had prediagnosis of pheochromocytoma have to be evaluated with special laboratory examinations especially during attacks, and the ones who are diagnosed radiologically have to be treated surgically. With this treatment, cure can be achieved and the need for antihypertensive treatment may be not required, but these patients have to be followed for the other accompanying diseases and recurrences.
