Excerpt

Extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas (EAPs) are neuroendocrine tumors that arise from paraganglion cells of the sympathetic component of the autonomic nervous system. The paraganglia are chromaffin tissue complexes that extend along the paravertebral axis [1]. As part of the autonomic nervous system, these paraganglia are the dominant source of catecholamine production during early childhood [2]. Failure of involution of these paraganglia leads to the development of extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas. …
