Histopathology and immunohistochemistry of adrenal medullary tumors and paragangliomas

Anne Marie McNicol. Endocr Pathol. 2006 Winter.

Abstract

Paragangliomas arise from sympathetic or parasympathetic paraganglia and should now be defined by their site and type. The term pheochromocytoma is reserved for intra-adrenal tumors. This short review discusses the gross and microscopic features, the immunohistochemical profile, the problem of recognizing malignant potential, and the rare instances where a differential diagnosis has to be considered.
