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

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