    Abstract:
    The aim of this study was to compare 64 genetically determined pheochromocytomas (PH) (49 MEN IIa, 3 MEN IIb, 6 Von Recklinghausen diseases, 1 von Hippel-Lindau disease, 5 familial pheochromocytomas) and 48 sporadic PH. Genetically determined PH were more often observed among men and more frequently bilateral and multicentric than sporadic PH. Sporadic tumors had more often adrenal capsular invasion, necrosis and pseudocysts. Genetically determined PH were more differentiated with an insular pattern, hyaline globules and a higher percentage of polyhedric cells. Sporadic tumors were less differentiated with more frequently a diffuse pattern and small cells. Adrenal medullar hyperplasia was significantly associated with genetically determined PH. Adrenal cortical hyperplasia was not associated with a particular type of PH. The PS100 and chromogranin immunodetection was equivalent in both groups.
