Pheochromocytoma is a rare catecholamine secreting tumour originating usually from adrenal medulla and produces[4,5] [4] signs and symptoms due to excessive catecholamine secretion. Pheochromocytoma is called '10% tumour'because 10 percent are bilateral, malignant, extra-adrenal, multiple and familial. Pheochromocytoma is one of [4] the few causes of hypertension that can be treated surgically. Detection is mandatory for the potential cure ofhypertension and to avoid the lethal effects. Pheochromocytoma has an overall good prognosis, with a 5-year [5] survival greater than 95% in benign tumours and recurrences below 10% for malignant tumours.
