Abstract
Catecholamine-secreting tumours are rare, neuroendocrine tumours that arise from chromaffin cells in the adrenal medulla or sympathetic chain. 123 They are divided into phaeochromocytomas (intra-adrenal) and paragangliomas (extra-adrenal). 1 These lesions emit catecholamines into the circulation triggering hypertension, headaches, diaphoresis, palpitations and tremors. 1 Due to the variety of non-specific symptoms, the diagnosis of these lesions can be especially challenging.
