Types/Stages of Pheochromocytoma

Pheochromocytomas vary in their progression and are classified into four stages:

Localised Pheochromocytoma: The tumour remains within the adrenal gland. Depending on its size, it may be classified as stage 1 or 2.
Localised Paraganglioma: The tumour is contained within the organ or tissue where it originated and has not spread elsewhere.
Regional Pheochromocytoma: The tumour has spread beyond the adrenal gland to nearby lymph nodes or organs, typically classified as stage 3.
Metastatic Pheochromocytoma: The tumour has spread to distant organs or tissues – a condition classified as stage 4.

Symptoms of Pheochromocytoma

Patients with pheochromocytoma may experience a variety of symptoms. They may include:

High blood pressure and rapid heartbeat
Recurrent headaches and sweating
Symptoms similar to panic attacks
Vision problems
Constipation or weight loss.
