Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is important in pathogenesis of different cancers. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationships between different VEGFs and clinicopathological factors in patients with phaeochromocytomas. Twenty patients (10 men; 10 women) with non-hereditary, non-metastatic phaeochromocytomas were examined for VEGF mRNA expressions by polymerase chain reaction. The expressions were correlated with the clinical and pathological factors of the patients. In addition, mouse double minute 2 (MDM2) expression in these tumours were studied by immunohistochemistry. High expressions of VEGF-A, VEGF-B, and VEGF-C mRNA were detected in 11 (55%), 9 (45%), and 9 (45%) of the tumours respectively. High expression of VEGF-A in phaeochromocytomas was significantly correlated with the tumour size (p=0.025) but did not correlate with patients' age, gender, and tumour laterality. Besides, there was a trend of VEGF-A expression correlated with MDM2 expression (p = 0.064). On the other hand, expressions of VEGF-B and VEGF-C were not significantly correlated with tumour size, patients' age, gender, tumour laterality, and MDM2 expression. In addition, high expressions of VEGF-B and VEGF-A were associated with increase of tumour size (p = 0.042). Co-expression of different VEGFs did not correlate with MDM2 expression. To conclude, there is a role for VEGF-A/VEGF-B/VEGF-C in the pathogenesis of non-hereditary, non-metastatic phaeochromocytomas.
