Familial Malignant Catecholamine-Secreting Paraganglioma with Prolonged Survival Associated with Mutation in the Succinate Dehydrogenase B Gene
1 Sept 2002
Abstract excerpt
Approximately 10% of catecholamine-secreting tumors are malignant, and 10% are familial. These tumors have been associated with several hereditary syndromes, including multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2, von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, neurofibromatosis type 1, and familial paraganglioma.
