嗜铬细胞瘤起源于肾上腺髓质、交感神经节、副交感神经节或其他部位的嗜铬组织中。肾上腺以外的嗜铬细胞瘤又称为副神经节瘤(Paraganglioma)发生于副交感神经节的又称为化学感受器瘤(Chemodectoma),可以发生于肾上腺以外的广泛区域,有时难于定位,延误手术时机。现将我院自1980年以来收治的肾上腺以外嗜铬细胞瘤报道如下。 Pheochromocytoma arises from the adrenal medulla, sympathetic ganglia, parasympathetic ganglia or other parts of the chromaffin tissue. Pheochromocytoma other than the adrenal glands, also known as paraganglioma, is also known as the paramodular ganglion, also known as chemoectoma. It can occur in a wide area outside the adrenal gland, and is sometimes difficult to locate and delay the timing of surgery. The pheochromocytoma other than the adrenal gland that has been treated in our hospital since 1980 is reported below.
