Abstract
PHEOCHROMOCYTOMAS are rare neuroendocrine tumors that cause symptomati c paroxysms due to catecholamine secretion. An unusual variant of the pheochromocytoma is the cystic pheochromocytoma. Two case reports and a review of the English language literature form the basis of this rep ort, which correlates the computed tomography (CT) and pathologic find ings of the cystic pheochromocytoma and outlines strategies in the rad iologic evaluation of pheochromocytoma.
