Pheochromocytoma of the adrenal gland
View of a pheochromocytoma of the adrenal gland! This is a benign or non-cancerous neuroendocrine tumor of the adrenal gland medulla that produce, store, and secrete excessive amount of catecholamines (i.e. epinephrine and norepinephrine). It can be life-threatening if not detected on time. 90% are found in the adrenal medulla while the rest arise from extra-adrenal locations. This tumor releases hormones that cause either episodic or persistent high blood pressure, as well as symptoms like pounding headache, heart palpitations, severe sweating, and anxiety. Urine screen detects the breakdown products of the catecholamines and is useful for diagnosis. Plasma metanephrine levels and tumor localization tests by CT and MRI are also effective. Surgical tumor resection with early ligation of venous drainage is the treatment of choice and it usually returns blood pressure to normal and reverses all other symptoms.
Damage too the adrenal gland cannot and possibly won't but lymph pneumonia it's different than lung caritid ultrasound as ND thoracentesis may or may not give results atrial blood gas and urea breath test and all this also can be genetics a tumor of the chromosone as splitting because mutation was interrupted by rude people
