A member asked:

Is a small adeoma adrenal nodule the same as a pheochromocytoma?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Andrew Seibert answered

Specializes in Gastroenterology

Not the same.: A pheochromocytoma is a benign tumor in the adrenal gland that produces hormones that affect your blood pressure. Most adrenal adenomas do not produce hormones. Unless you're having blood pressure issues, this is not your problem.
