Sympathetic paragangliomas cause catecholamine excess; parasympathetic paragangliomas are most often nonsecretory. Extra-adrenal parasympathetic paragangliomas are located predominantly in the skull base and neck (referred to as head and neck paragangliomas [HNPGLs]) and sometimes in the upper mediastinum; approximately 95% of such tumors are nonsecretory. In contrast, extra-adrenal sympathetic paragangliomas are generally confined to the lower mediastinum, abdomen, and pelvis, and are typically secretory. Pheochromocytomas, which arise from the adrenal medulla, typically lead to catecholamine excess. Symptoms of PGL/PCCs result from either mass effects or catecholamine hypersecretion (e.g., sustained or paroxysmal elevations in blood pressure, headache, episodic profuse sweating, forceful palpitations, pallor, and apprehension or anxiety). The risk for developing metastatic disease is greater for extra-adrenal sympathetic paragangliomas than for pheochromocytomas. Additional tumors reported in individuals with hereditary PGL/PCC syndromes include gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), pulmonary chondromas, and clear cell renal cell carcinoma." /><meta name="robots" content="index,nofollow,noarchive" />

Sympathetic paragangliomas cause catecholamine excess; parasympathetic paragangliomas are most often nonsecretory. Extra-adrenal parasympathetic paragangliomas are located predominantly in the skull base and neck (referred to as head and neck paragangliomas [HNPGLs]) and sometimes in the upper mediastinum; approximately 95% of such tumors are nonsecretory. In contrast, extra-adrenal sympathetic paragangliomas are generally confined to the lower mediastinum, abdomen, and pelvis, and are typically secretory. Pheochromocytomas, which arise from the adrenal medulla, typically lead to catecholamine excess. Symptoms of PGL/PCCs result from either mass effects or catecholamine hypersecretion (e.g., sustained or paroxysmal elevations in blood pressure, headache, episodic profuse sweating, forceful palpitations, pallor, and apprehension or anxiety). The risk for developing metastatic disease is greater for extra-adrenal sympathetic paragangliomas than for pheochromocytomas. Additional tumors reported in individuals with hereditary PGL/PCC syndromes include gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), pulmonary chondromas, and clear cell renal cell carcinoma. [from <a title="GeneReviews" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1116" class="defSource" target="_blank">GeneReviews</a>]</div><div class="spaceAbove"><strong>Full text of <i>GeneReview</i> (by section):</strong><br /><a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1548#paragangliomas.Summary" target="NBK1548">Summary</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1548#paragangliomas.Diagnosis" target="NBK1548">Diagnosis</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1548#paragangliomas.Clinical_Characteristics" target="NBK1548">Clinical Characteristics</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1548#paragangliomas.Genetically_Related_Allel" target="NBK1548">Genetically Related (Allelic) Disorders</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1548#paragangliomas.Differential_Diagnosis" target="NBK1548">Differential Diagnosis</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1548#paragangliomas.Management" target="NBK1548">Management</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1548#paragangliomas.Genetic_Counseling" target="NBK1548">Genetic Counseling</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1548#paragangliomas.Resources" target="NBK1548">Resources</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1548#paragangliomas.Molecular_Genetics" target="NBK1548">Molecular Genetics</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1548#paragangliomas.Chapter_Notes" target="NBK1548">Chapter Notes</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1548#paragangliomas.References" target="NBK1548">References</a></div><div class="spaceAbove"><strong>Authors:</strong><br />

<div class="portlet_content ln"><div class="mgSection"><strong>From OMIM</strong><br />Pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma syndrome-2 (PPGL2) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the development of neuroendocrine tumors, usually in adulthood. Paragangliomas are tumors derived from paraganglia located throughout the body. Nonchromaffin types primarily serve as chemoreceptors and are located in the head and neck region (i.e., carotid body, jugular, vagal, and tympanic regions), whereas chromaffin types have endocrine activity, conventionally referred to as 'pheochromocytomas,' and are usually located below the head and neck (i.e., adrenal medulla and pre- and paravertebral thoracoabdominal regions). PPGL can manifest as nonchromaffin head and neck tumors only, adrenal and/or extraadrenal pheochromocytomas only, or a combination of the 2 types of tumors (Baysal, 2002; Neumann et al., 2004).&#13;
For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma syndrome, see PPGL1 (168000).  <a target="_blank" href="http://www.omim.org/entry/601650">http://www.omim.org/entry/601650</a></div><div class="mgSection"><strong>From MedlinePlus Genetics</strong><br />Hereditary paraganglioma-pheochromocytoma is an inherited condition characterized by the growth of tumors in structures called paraganglia. Paraganglia are groups of cells that are found near nerve cell bunches called ganglia. A tumor involving the paraganglia is known as a paraganglioma. A type of paraganglioma known as a pheochromocytoma develops in the adrenal glands, which are located on top of each kidney and produce hormones in response to stress. Other types of paraganglioma are usually found in the head, neck, or trunk. People with hereditary paraganglioma-pheochromocytoma develop one or more paragangliomas, which may include pheochromocytomas.<br /><br />Pheochromocytomas and some other paragangliomas are associated with ganglia of the sympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system controls the "fight-or-flight" response, a series of changes in the body due to hormones released in response to stress. Sympathetic paragangliomas found outside the adrenal glands, usually in the abdomen, are called extra-adrenal paragangliomas. Most sympathetic paragangliomas, including pheochromocytomas, produce hormones called catecholamines, such as epinephrine (adrenaline) or norepinephrine. These excess catecholamines can cause signs and symptoms such as high blood pressure (hypertension), episodes of rapid heartbeat (palpitations), headaches, or sweating.<br /><br />Most paragangliomas are associated with ganglia of the parasympathetic nervous system, which controls involuntary body functions such as digestion and saliva formation. Parasympathetic paragangliomas, typically found in the head and neck, usually do not produce hormones. However, large tumors may cause signs and symptoms such as coughing, hearing loss in one ear, or difficulty swallowing.<br /><br />Paragangliomas and pheochromocytomas are typically considered an undetermined tumor type, meaning they can be noncancerous (benign) or become cancerous (malignant) and spread to other parts of the body (metastasize). Extra-adrenal paragangliomas become malignant more often than other types of paraganglioma or pheochromocytoma.<br /><br />Paragangliomas and pheochromocytomas can occur in individuals with other inherited disorders, such as von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, Carney-Stratakis syndrome, and certain types of multiple endocrine neoplasia. These other disorders feature additional tumor types and have different genetic causes. Some paragangliomas and pheochromocytomas occur in people with no history of the tumors in their families and appear not to be inherited. These cases are designated as sporadic.<br /><br />Researchers have identified several types of hereditary paraganglioma-pheochromocytoma. Each type is distinguished by its genetic cause. People with types 1, 2, and 3 typically develop paragangliomas in the head or neck region. People with type 4 usually develop extra-adrenal paragangliomas in the abdomen and are at higher risk for malignant tumors that metastasize. The other types are very rare. Hereditary paraganglioma-pheochromocytoma is typically diagnosed in a person's 30s.  <a target="_blank" href="https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/hereditary-paraganglioma-pheochromocytoma">https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/hereditary-paraganglioma-pheochromocytoma</a></div></div>

<div class="spaceAbove">Pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma syndrome-1 (PPGL1) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the development of neuroendocrine tumors, usually in adulthood. Pheochromocytomas arise from chromaffin cells in the adrenal medulla, whereas paragangliomas arise in extra-adrenal sympathetic ganglia in the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis or from parasympathetic paraganglia in the head and neck area (summary by Cascon et al., 2023).&#13; Paragangliomas, also referred to as 'glomus body tumors,' are tumors derived from paraganglia located throughout the body. Nonchromaffin types primarily serve as chemoreceptors (hence, the tumor name 'chemodectomas') and are located in the head and neck region (i.e., carotid body, jugular, vagal, and tympanic regions), whereas chromaffin types have endocrine activity, conventionally referred to as 'pheochromocytomas,' and are usually located below the head and neck (i.e., adrenal medulla and pre- and paravertebral thoracoabdominal regions). PPGL can manifest as nonchromaffin head and neck tumors only, adrenal and/or extraadrenal pheochromocytomas only, or a combination of the 2 types of tumors (Baysal, 2002; Neumann et al., 2004).&#13; The triad of gastric leiomyosarcoma, pulmonary chondroma, and extraadrenal paraganglioma constitutes a syndrome that occurs mainly in young women and is known as the Carney triad (604287). This triad is not to be confused with the other Carney syndrome of myxoma, spotty pigmentation, and endocrinopathy (160980).&#13; Baysal (2008) provided a review of the molecular pathogenesis of hereditary paraganglioma.&#13; Genetic Heterogeneity of Pheochromocytoma/Paraganglioma Syndrome&#13; See also PPGL2 (601650), caused by mutation in the SDHAF2 gene (613019) on chromosome 11q13; PPGL3 (605373), caused by mutation in the SDHC gene (602413) on chromosome 1q21; PPGL4 (115310), caused by mutation in the SDHB gene (185470) on chromosome 1p36; PPGL5 (614165), caused by mutation in the SDHA gene (600857) on chromosome 5p15; PPGL6 (618464), caused by mutation in the SLC25A11 gene (604165) on chromosome 17p13; and PPGL7 (618475), caused by mutation in the DLST gene (126063) on chromosome 14q24.</div>
