Pheochromocytoma (PCC) is a rare catecholamine-secreting tumor of adrenal origin. When it is extra-adrenal, it is referred to as paraganglioma. PCC is the cause of hypertension in 1 in 500 adults. These tumors are usually diagnosed by the 4th to 5th decade and are found equally in both genders. Hereditary pheochromocytoma usually presents at a younger age. This activity outlines the clinical presentation of PCC, its pathophysiology, and diagnostic tests used to diagnose pheochromocytoma. This activity entails pre-operative optimization of patients for resection of PCC. This CME educates on detailed intra-operative management, including hemodynamic monitoring and management of possible intra-op complications. Post-operative management of patients has been discussed. In addition, a small section on the surgical approach has been described.
