title: [Diagnosis and surgical treatment of chromaffin tumors of the adrenal glands].
abstract: The diagnosis and treatment of chromaffin-cell tumors of the adrenals in 20 patients are discussed. The late-term results were studied in follow-up periods of 2 to 20 years. In establishing the diagnosis the main attention was focussed on the clinical manifestations, ultrasonic examination, and tests for catecholamines in the urine. Postoperative complications were not encountered. Stable good results of treatment were recorded in 16 patients with pheochromocytomas and in one patient with pheochromoblastoma who was followed up for 9 years after the operation.
