My mother was diagnosed with a Pheochromocytoma but they cannot find where it is located, they have done multiple scans, they say sometimes they can hide in the tissues of your body.  She has all the symtoms including headaches, quick rising spikes of her blood pressure and she has problems breathing at times. They say they know this is what it is because of the high levels of catecholamines in her urine, Im worried she could have a stroke if they dont find it in time do you have any suggestions??????
Thanks for query. Pheochromocytoma is only surgically treated. Hence we need to find the tumor and respect it. Go for MING scan (metaiodobenzylguanidine (MING) is reserved for cases in which a pheochromocytoma is confirmed biochemically but CT scanning or MRI does not show a tumor).regards
