Usual presentation: Is extreme hypertension. After that, you will need special blood tests for diagnosis. But this is a rare tumor, and other causes of hypertension are much much more common.

Pheochromocytoma: Many find out only when they die from it. A bit of Dr. humor ;-). But it is often only diagnosed at autopsy.mI specialize in this and happy to do 2nd opinion to help you and your team. Your need to have a 24 hr urine done for catecholamines etc.
