BACKGROUND: The study was carried out to highlight the clinical and biochemical profile of @entity1 with @entity1911 in a tertiary care center of North India. METHODS AND RESULTS: Thirty consecutive cases of @entity1911 admitted over a period of 10 years to our Institute were analyzed. The chief clinical complaints of these 30 @entity1 (17 males and 13 females, mean age 24+/-7 years) were palpitation (80%), @entity10 (77%), sweating (60%), @entity1353 (67%) and @entity1671 (56%). The clinical triad of @entity10 , @entity1671 and sweating occurred in 26.7% of cases. On clinical examination, 97% of the @entity1 were @entity101 and 16.6% presented with malignant @entity101 . Laboratory measurements showed that the levels of 24-hour urinary @entity17081 were elevated in 80% of cases. Levels of plasma @entity1425 and @entity1063 were raised in 78% and 79% of cases, respectively. Anatomical localization of the @entity5 on computerized tomographic scan showed the presence of an @entity5 in 80% and @entity5 in 20%. Surgical @entity5 could be carried out in 28 cases following control of the blood pressure with antihypertensive drugs including alpha and beta adrenoreceptor blockers. CONCLUSIONS: @entity1911 should be suspected in all young @entity101 @entity1 . The appropriate therapy for this @entity5 is surgical removal preceded by adequate blood pressure control including the use of alpha and beta adrenoreceptor antagonists.
