The present introspective article focuses on Pheochromocytoma- a rare type of tumor related to the endocrine gland Adrenal; - specifically the chromaffin cells of adrenal medulla. The morpho – histology, types, etiology (which includes molecular and genetic causes) and classification of the syndromes associated with Pheochromocytoma are discussed here in detail. Treatments related with this adrenomedullary tumor, which includes certain drugs and surgical interventions) are also mentioned in this communication with equal emphasis.
