AB  - Pheochromocytomas  are  neuroendocrine  tumors  that  produce  an  excessive  amount  of  catecholamines.  This  catecholamine  excess  presents  as  a  wide  range  of  systemic  effects.  Pheochromocytomas  have  an  incidence  of  2–8  cases  per  1,000,000  patients.  In  patients  who  are  already  diagnosed  with  hypertension,  pheochromocytomas  are  found  to  be  the  cause  in  0.1%–0.6%  of  these  patients.  A  significant  percentage  (25%–50%)  of  patients  with  pheochromocytoma  who  die  in  a  hospital  admission  do  so  perioperatively.
