Samenvatting

Het feochromocytoom is een zeldzame maar gevaarlijke neuro-endocriene tumor van het bijniermerg of de extra-adrenale sympathische paraganglia. De klinische presentatie wordt met name bepaald door de cardiovasculaire effecten van catecholaminen. De laboratoriumdiagnostiek bestaat uit het bepalen van metanefrines in bloed of 24-uursurine. De laboratoriumdiagnostiek kan valspositief zijn door bepaalde medicijnen zoals anti-emetica en psychofarmaca. Tevens kunnen deze middelen bij feochromocytoom een catecholaminecrisis veroorzaken. De behandeling bestaat uit tumorresectie na zorgvuldige preoperatieve alfa- en bèta-adrenerge blokkade. Een derde van de patiënten heeft een onderliggend genetisch syndroom. Feochromocytoom mondt in een minderheid van de gevallen uit in gemetastaseerde ziekte.
