Best Doctors for Pheochromocytoma in Mumbai

Pheochromocytoma is a rare tumour that develops in the adrenal glands, located above the kidneys. While it’s not fully understood why this disease occurs, research indicates that it may be linked to genetic changes or inherited conditions such as multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2), von Hippel-Lindau disease, and neurofibromatosis type 1. The disease can have profound effects on a patient’s cardiovascular system, leading to high blood pressure and other symptoms.

Although this condition is rare, the city’s extensive healthcare system, including Apollo Hospitals, is well-equipped to diagnose and treat it. The hospital houses some of the best pheochromocytoma doctors who work tirelessly to provide excellent care for all patients.

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.

Tests to Diagnose Pheochromocytoma

At Apollo Hospitals, Mumbai, several tests are used by pheochromocytoma doctors to diagnose pheochromocytoma. They may include:

  • 24-hour Urine Test: This test measures the levels of certain substances in urine over a 24-hour period.

  • Blood Tests: These assess hormone levels, such as catecholamines and metanephrines.

  • Imaging Tests: CT and MRI scans provide a clear picture of the adrenal glands.

  • Biopsy: This procedure involves examining tissue samples to confirm the diagnosis.
