This monograph, which was more than five years in preparation,
represents a very detailed account of pheochromocytoma, a tumor
that is almost invariably lethal if untreated. In addition to its
definitive presentation of the subject, this volume contains the
most cur rent information regarding the diagnosis and management of
pheochromocytoma. It is im portant to reemphasize the seriousness
of diagnosing and treating pheochromocytoma with the aphorism of
Esperson and Dahl Iversen that although a pheochromocytoma may be
morphologically benign it is physio logically malignant (280) and
with Aranow's characterization of this tumor as a "veritable
pharmacological bomb" (20). If managed ap propriately by a highly
skilled and profes sional "bomb squad," this tumor can be re moved
and the patient cured in at least 90 percent of cases. The secret
lies in first sus pecting and recognizing the patient who has and
then offering the ex pheochromocytoma pert management such a
patient requires. These facts more than justify this publication,
since the internist, pediatrician, obstetrician, ophthalmologist,
otolaryngologist, urologist, neurologist, surgeon,
anesthesiologist, derma tologist, psychiatrist, radiologist, and
also the dentist must be made acutely aware of the varied
manifestations of this condition and of the pathologic entities
which sometimes co- xiv Preface exist with pheochromocytoma.
Furthermore, have included a large number of instructive they
should have a thorough knowledge of the figures and have emphasized
teaching tables."
