[Clinical contribution to the study of pheochromocytomas]
Abstract:
6 cases of suprarenal phaeochromocytoma were operated on at the Department of Special Surgical Pathology and Clinical Propaedeutics of the University of Turin between 1954 and 1975. The age of the patients was between 32 and 53, 5 cases being male and 1 female. Personal data are compared with larger series and mention is made of the importance of certain pharmacological tests and new radiological techniques for the diagnosis of tumour nature and localization. An atypical case in which exact clinical classification was only possible histologically a posteriori is discussed. Immediate and long-term results were good. Although not all patients presented normalised pressure values, the disappearance of hypertensive crises and normalization of glycaemia and urinary catecholamines were constant observations.
