Abstract
Background: Phaeochromocytoma is a rare, catecholamine-secreting, neuroendocrine tumour, occurring in less than 0.2 percent of patients with hypertension. Although the clinical manifestation of phaeochromocytoma varies, predominant symptoms include episodic hypertension, headaches, sweating, and tachycardia. This clinical picture is attributed to a blend of alpha- and beta-adrenergic effects with alpha effects predominating. With the developments in operative techniques, minimally invasive adrenalectomy has become the mainstay of therapy for patients with phaeochromocytoma.
