Pheochromocytomas are rare tumors that can pose problems in diagnosis and detection. Although they usually present with classic symptoms, they can at times present with symptoms that mimic other clinical conditions. This article discusses the various imaging tests that are used in pheochromocytoma detection and also outlines an imaging algorithm used at the University of Michigan for pheochromocytoma evaluation.
