Overview

Pheochromocytoma develops from chromaffin cells, found in adrenal medulla which secrete adrenaline, noradrenaline, and dopamine. 50-60 percent of pheochromocytomas are sporadic, others are familial. Familial forms can be sub-divided into two major clusters based on genes causing the disease. Cluster 1 tumors are noradrenergic and cluster 2 tumors are adrenergic. Familial pheochromocytoma may be caused by a mutation of either SDHD, VHL, SDHB, RET, NF1 genes.
