Summary

Studies were performed in seven unselected patients with proven pheochromocytoma pre-operatively. Serum immunoreactive parathormone and calcium levels were found to be normal in all our patients with sustained symptoms and signs of pheochromocytoma. In spite of a high circulating concentration of epinephrine or norepinephrine we did not find out any changes in serum calcium and parathormone levels.

Key words

Pheochromocytoma - Epinephrine + - Norepinephrine - Calcemia - Parathormone
