Intraoperative near-infrared fluorescence imaging of a paraganglioma using methylene blue: A case report.

International journal of surgery case reports

PMID: 25541370
Int J Surg Case Rep. 2015;6:150-3. doi: 10.1016/j.ijscr.2014.12.002. Epub 2014 Dec 05.

INTRODUCTION: Intraoperative identification of tumors can be challenging. Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging is an innovative technique that can assist in intraoperative identification of tumors, which may otherwise be undetectable.PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 19-year-old patient with symptoms, normetanephrine levels and...

An adrenal mass and increased catecholamines: monoamine oxidase or pheochromocytoma effect?.

Journal of clinical medicine research

Bosscher MR, Wentholt IM, Ackermans MT, Nieveen van Dijkum EJ.

Hormonal evaluation in patients with an adrenal incidentaloma can be difficult in patients with comorbidities or in patients using interfering drugs. We present a case of a 54-year-old man who was evaluated for an adrenal mass. The medical history...

Complete Remission in Metastatic Pheochromocytoma Treated with Extensive Surgery.

Cureus. 2016 Jan 05;8(1):e447. doi: 10.7759/cureus.447.

Pheochromocytomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors that arise from chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla. Malignant pheochromocytoma is defined as the presence of metastatic spread in tissues where chromaffin cells are not usually present. This case report describes the case...

Mouse brain concentrations of 3-methoxytyramine and normetanephrine: a comparison of methods of sacrifice.

Neurochemistry international

Greene KA, Beck O, Faull KF, Stavinoha WB.
PMID: 20501202
Neurochem Int. 1988;12(1):47-52. doi: 10.1016/0197-0186(88)90147-7.

The identification of sacrifice methods that produce reliable measures of baseline central nervous system neurotransmitter concentrations poses a challenge to analytical neurochemical investigation. In the present study, microwave irradiation (MWVI) was compared with in situ freezing, cervical dislocation, and...

Aortoarteritis: Could it be a form of catecholamine-induced vasculitis?.

Indian journal of endocrinology and metabolism

Sarathi V, Lila AR, Bandgar TR, Shah NS.
PMID: 23776874
Indian J Endocrinol Metab. 2013 Jan;17(1):163-6. doi: 10.4103/2230-8210.107874.

Catecholamine-induced vasculitis is a well known but rarely described entity. However, aortoarteritis as a manifestation of catecholamine-induced vasculitis is not described in the literature. We have reported two patients in whom pheochromocytoma coexisted with aortoarteritis. Both patients were young...

Synchronous bilateral pheochromocytomas and paraganglioma with novel germline mutation in MAX: a case report.

Surgical case reports

Shibata M, Inaishi T, Miyajima N, Adachi Y, Takano Y, Nakanishi K, Takeuchi D, Noda S, Aita Y, Takekoshi K, Kodera Y, Kikumori T.

BACKGROUND: Recent advance of genetic testing has contributed to the diagnosis of hereditary pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL). The clinical characteristics of hereditary PPGL are varying among the types of mutational genes. It is still difficult to specify the pathognomonic...

Pheochromocytoma of the Organ Zuckerkandl.

The Journal of the Louisiana State Medical Society : official organ of the Louisiana State Medical Society

Lee C, Chang E, Gimenez J, McCarron R.
PMID: 28414676
J La State Med Soc. 2017 Mar-Apr;169(2):53. Epub 2017 Apr 15.

INTRODUCTION: Pheochromocytomas (PCCs);, or intra-adrenal paragangliomas (PGLs);, are neuroendocrine tumors arising within the adrenal medulla. Extra-adrenal paragangliomas may arise in the sympathetic or parasympathetic paraganglia and more rarely in other organs. One of the most common extra-adrenal sites is...

Myocardial Infarction with non-obstructed coronaries - atypical presentation of pheochromocytoma.

Endocrinology, diabetes & metabolism case reports

Endocrinol Diabetes Metab Case Rep. 2019 Oct 19;2019. doi: 10.1530/EDM-19-0089. Epub 2019 Oct 19.

SUMMARY: Although pheochromocytoma classically presents with headaches, palpitations and paroxysmal hypertension, atypical presentations such as cardiomyopathy, stroke and subarachnoid haemorrhage have been infrequently documented. We present in this case report, an uncommon presentation of pheochromocytoma with myocardial infarction with...

OBJECTIVE: The differential diagnosis of retroperito-neal tumors includes lymphoid, germ cell, and neurogenic tumors such as paraganglioma. Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors of the autonomic nervous system, which may secrete catecholamines and their metabolites. Clinical features include sustained or...
