Pheochromocytoma in cats

Pheochromocytoma in cats is a rare but clinically important disease arising from the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla or the sympathetic paraganglia. These tumors typically produce excess catecholamines such as epinephrine and norepinephrine, which can lead to a variety of symptoms. Although pheochromocytoma is not commonly diagnosed in cats, it is important to recognize this condition because it can have serious consequences if left untreated. A comprehensive summary of the key aspects of pheochromocytoma in cats is provided below.
