Abstract
Patients with phaeochromocytoma may present a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations as presented here in 5 case reports. Pathophysiology, clinical management, pharmacotherapy and associated diseases are discussed. Although catecholamine measurements in both urine and blood as well as modern localisation techniques are valuable adjuncts to establishing the diagnosis, a high index of suspicion remains the key to this diagnosis.
