[Bianikify]

esta chevere como sta histopatologia lo malo es q no entiendo lo q dic el locutor jejee..... poxfis publiquen mas sobre este temaa, como c desarrolla el feocromocitoma la patologia o la causa de ste

Pheochromocytoma is a relatively rare cause of

secondary hypertension , among others.Has episodes of palpitation, sweating due to bursts of catecholamines release.Diagnosed by 24hr urine adrenaline & noradrenaline level which is elevated unlike paraganglioma with similar symptoms but only noradrenaline elevated

Great video thank you for posting it. I am doing a project on pheochromocytoma and this video added an excellent element to my presentation, along with giving me some good information.

i have one right now and looking to get it taken out any suggestions , i have the high blood pressure and catacholamines norepinephrin and all that jazz, am pretty scared too

This was very interesting.. however from what I've learned from personal experience in dealing with one, is that they don't always occur within the medulla of the adrenal gland, and about 10% of people with them find out they are malignant. I also think that some of the adjectives you chose to describe it were a little well.. let's just say that most people who have to deal with these don't like their tumor called nice. Other than that.. thank you for sharing.

I have an ADHB mutation which puts me at risk for pheos....THEY ARE NOT all benign!! In SDHB patients, there is an elevated tendency toward malignancy.

sir, is there a possibility that this tumor will come back after an operation? hopefully never. And will be the operation critical for a diabetic patient?

I'm 45 and going to get a left adrenal w/3cm pheo removed dec 23 08, so this is VERY interesting to me. Thanks very much for posting it. I'm really looking forward to getting rid of this thing, it's been trying to kill me for over a year (it's very active) and took a while to figure out. Education rules! Alpha blockers are awesome too.

I'm curious how leathermenace did with surgery? I will inquire about genetic test per sarahrochelle123 suggestion. thanks!

You learn medicine by saying that a tumor is nice on youtube??? I had one of these 8 cm diameter and if you had the same maybe you would stop to say how exciting it is. Shame on you.

[ToothEnvy]

I think he means it's easy to recognise and therefore nice and simple to learn - not as in it is "nice"...don't take it personally.

[sarahrochelle123]

I am 28 I had a large pheo removed 3 years ago and have another one growing now. we discovered we have a gene mutation the SDHB. If you have a pheo,...you MUST get genetic testing! They can do it at NIH in Marlyland, It is vital for your family you get tested to see if it can affect others in your family. @ of my children have the gene. THey must be monitored. This diease is soooo hard on people but there are always something out there that is worse. Dr. Vivian Rodriguez in HoustonTX. THE BEST

[WashingtonDeceit]

It is comments like this which superbly enhance the education!

Kindly, wdc

I had one removed when I was 17. The worst experiences of my life. I was so sick... but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

[JG1243]

i had this, was extra adrenal (18years old)

[burntash1]

Ive had bilateral adrenalectomy due to three pheos at twenty amazing recovery twenty eight now and doing very well enjoyed vid would be nice to here other comments and maybe ill put a vid together myself

[s4jpark]

I love these short videos. I wish you would make more. It makes studying pathology so much easier

[leathermenace]

thank you for loading this. I am about start alpha blockers in preporation for having one of these removed from my right adrenal gland. Good to hear you say so few are cancerous.

[WashingtonDeceit]

yes
