Epidemiologic Profile and Clinical Outcomes of Patients with Pheochromocytoma in the University of the Philippines Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH)

Our study demonstrated that patients with pheochromocytoma in our setting exhibit great variability in terms of clinical behavior. Although majority of the patients presented with symptoms related to catecholamine excess, almost one-third of the patients were only incidentally discovered. Incidence of pheochromocytoma recurrence and metastasis in our setting are comparable with current available foreign studies.
