- Abstract
Pheochromocytomas (PCC)/paragangliomas (PGL) are catecholamine (CA) -secreting neuroendocrine tumors, which are known as PPGL due to their histological and pathophysiological similarities. In addition to the typical triad of paroxysmal headache, palpitation, and sweating, PPGL may also be accompanied by symptoms and signs involving multiple organs and systems such as the cardiovascular system, digestive system, endocrine system, and nervous system. Currently, surgical resection is the first choice for PPGL. Safe and effective surgical management of complicated PPGL is the goal of clinical work. In this paper, we discuss this hot issue based on complicated PPGL cases, aiming to share our experience of the surgical management strategy of PPGL., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2023 Wang, Zhao, Liao and Zhang.)
