Clinical Predictors of Malignancy in Patients with Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma

Background and Purpose Factors associated with malignancy in patients with pheochromocytoma (adrenal tumors, Pheo) and paraganglioma (extra-adrenal, PGL) are not well-defined and all patients require lifelong surveillance. The primary aim of our study was to determine genetic and clinical variables associated with malignancy in patients with Pheo/PGL.
