Plasma free metanephrine, normetanephrine and 3-methoxytyramine for the differential diagnosis of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma

Gupta Poonam , Khurana Madan Lal , Sharma S C , Bal C S , Ammini A C

Background: Pheochromocytoma (PHEO) and paraganglioma (PGL) of abdominal origin secrete catecholamines which are metabolized to metanephrines. Head-and-neck paraganglioma (HNPGL) are considered as non secretary tumors.Objectives: To find the utility of plasma free metanephrine (MN), normetanephrine (NMN) and 3-methxytyramine (3-MT) for the differential diagnosis PHEO/PGL after excluding MEN2 and VHL patients.Methods: A total of 79 ...

Eleven base pair (AACACTCTAGC) deletion of SDHB Ex-4 from c.325 to c.335 in the patient with malignant Vaginal Paraganglioma – A case report

Gupta Poonam , Khurana Madan Lal , Ammini A C , Bal C S

Background: Pheochromocytoma (PHEO) and paraganglioma (PGL) are the tumors of adrenal medulla and extra adrenal ganglia respectively. Most of these PHEO/PGL are benign and may become malignant, if remain undiagnosed/untreated for a longer time. Vaginal PGL are extremely rare. There is not much published literature on vaginal PGL.Objective: To carry out biochemical and genetic analysis of the patient with MIBG negative malignant vaginal PGL.<p class="...
