Background. Pheochromocytoma is neuroendocrine tumor classified as a rare disease (ORPHA:717). Pheochromocytomas are usually benign, however approximately 10% of them can be malignant. Currently no molecular or histopathological markers are available to detect early stages of malignancy and only radiological evidence of metastases after initial operation suggests malignant pheochromocytoma. Surgical resection of the metastatic tumors is the treatment of choice for ma lignant pheochromocytoma.
