Abstract
Pheochromocytomas are rare tumors of chromaffin cells arising from adrenal medulla or elsewhere within the sympathetic paraganglionic axis. An estimated 800 cases are diagnosed yearly in the United States. The importance of recognition of this disease lies in the fact that over 90% of the patients properly diagnosed and treated are curable. Very few studies have been reported from Saudi Arabia and the Middle East on the operative experience on pheochromocytoma. This prospective study presents 10 years of clinical experience on the surgical management of pheochromocytoma carried out at the Riyadh Medical Complex (RMC), one of the tertiary referral centers in the Central Region of Saudi Arabia. The objective was to analyze the clinical presentation, localization, surgical management, pathology and outcome of consecutive patients of pheochromocytoma observed over the 10-year period.
