Identify

Pheochromocytoma (265)
-rare tumor of the adrenal medulla composed of chromaffin cells, also known as pheochromocytes. -tumor composed of the same cells as a pheochromocytoma develops outside the adrenal gland - paraganglioma.
These neuroendocrine tumors are capable of producing and releasing massive amounts of catecholamines, metanephrines, or methoxytyramine, which result in the most common symptoms; hypertension (high blood pressure), tachycardi*_a (fast heart rate), _*diaphoresis (sweating).[4]
not all of these tumors will secrete catecholamines. Those that do not are referred to as biochemically silent, and are predominantly located in the head and neck

Identify

Well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor
(islet cell tumor, “APUD-oma”) (the pancreas) (458)
