Résumé

Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are neuroendocrine tumors derived from adrenal or extra-adrenal locations, respectively.

Improved diagnostic tools allow physicians to accurately diagnose PPGL, even in patients presenting with small (<1 cm) or biochemically silent tumors, which previously delayed proper detection and treatment.
