Résumé
Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumours associated with high morbidity and mortality. Recognizing the clinical presentation is the first step for diagnosis. Biochemical studies may determine an excess of catecholamines and their metabolites. However, the available tests offer varying diagnosis precision. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance are highly sensitive for locating these tumours. Functional tests are reserved for when metastatic and multifocal disease are suspected. One third of the patients have a germline mutation and many genes are involved in the development of these tumours.
