    Background:

    • Pheochromocytoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor originating from chromaffin cells.
    • Accurate diagnosis and localization are crucial for effective management and surgical planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of computed tomography (CT) scanning in visualizing and characterizing pheochromocytoma.
    • To demonstrate the diagnostic value of CT in various clinical presentations of pheochromocytoma.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of an atlas showcasing diverse CT appearances of pheochromocytoma.
    • Analysis of diagnostic resolution across different presenting signs and symptoms.

    Main Results:

    • CT scanning effectively visualizes pheochromocytoma, revealing characteristic appearances.

  • The method successfully resolves most diagnostic challenges associated with pheochromocytoma, irrespective of clinical presentation.
  • CT accurately identifies tumor location and extent.

    • Conclusions:

    • Computed tomography scanning is an invaluable tool for the diagnosis and preoperative assessment of pheochromocytoma.
    • CT imaging plays an essential role in the work-up, guiding surgical intervention and patient management.
