Abstract

Background: Regarding the prevalence of PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA and controversies in patients" characteristics, diagnosis and prognosis and also with respect to the lack of sufficient insight in this field, this study has been conducted over the patients referring to Taleghani, Shahid Modarres, Shariati, and Imam Khomeini hospitals during the academic years 1985-2000. Materials and methods: Existing data of the patients with definite diagnosis of PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA were collected. Initial data including age, sex, chief complaint, clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, tumor status (type, site, and size), type of anesthesia and operation, post-operative complications and the outcome of treatment were all recorded. Results: 53 patients over 17 years old had entered our study, where 29 (54.7%) were female and the remaining 24 (45.3%) were male. Patients were all 30±13 years old and 75% of them have referred with headache, palpitation, excessive sweating and hypertension. Blood pressure was controlled by means of alpha-blocker before the operation. Tumor was discovered in 3.8% of the patients incidentally, where no hormonal function has been detected. 24 hour urinary VMA (Vanil Mendelic Acid) was positive in 74% of the patients. Positive family history of PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA had been reported in 5.6% of the patients, however, none of them had been diagnosed as MEN syndrome. In 49.1% of the cases tumor was located at right adrenal, but multicentricity was not found. Post-operative complications including hypertensive crisis, hemoglubin depression, oliguria, hypotension, fever and atelectasia were reported in 25% of the patients. Conclusion: 11.3% of the patients were died within a month after surgery. Mean age of the referred individuals was younger than other studies. MEN syndrome and multicentricity was not detected in our study. We have found higher rate of mortality and morbidity, so further research is highly recommended.
