CorrespondencePheochromocytomas in aortic dissection patients: have they been missing or missed?
Section snippets
Conclusion
- 1.
There is a rationale for both clinicians and pathologists to screen patients with AD for the presence of pheo.
- 2.
Pheochromocytoma might not be such a rare disease if we look for it on the proper place, for example, in high-risk subsets, like patients with AD.
