View in English: Pheochromocytoma
Feocromocitoma
Tumor que se forma en el centro de la glándula suprarrenal (glándula ubicada por encima del riñón) que hace que el cuerpo produzca demasiada adrenalina. Por lo general, los feocromocitomas son benignos (no cancerosos), pero pueden causar presión arterial alta, dolores de cabeza martilleantes, palpitaciones del corazón, enrojecimiento de la cara, náuseas y vómitos.
