ABSTRACT
Pheochromocytoma is a catecholamine secreting tumor, first described on the adrenal medulla and later on in different extra-adrenal locations such as the sympathetic periaortic chain and, most recently, endobronquially, in the upper respiratory airways and the heart. In this paper we will go over the main clinical manifestations, diagnostic procedures, and the leading therapeutic strategies, focusing on the surgical management of the benign and malignant presentations of this entity, bearing in mind its size, location and other characteristics that influence its prognosis.
Finally we will analyze the international dilemma on whether the pheochromocytoma should be surgically treated laparoscopically or not. Being malignant or benign, the main guidelines, already established, to its laparoscopically management will be disclosed.
