Higher risk of phaeochromocytoma/paraganglioma (Phaeo‐Pgl) in SDHD than SDHB carriers: an Australian cohort study

2019 
: Carriers of succinate dehydrogenase (SDHx) mutations are at risk of developing phaeochromocytomas, catecholamine secreting extra-adrenal paragangliomas and non-secretory head and neck paragangliomas and require lifelong surveillance. There is no current consensus on the optimal surveillance strategy. This study describes the outcomes of a cohort of 50 SDHx mutation carriers followed at a tertiary Australian hospital using a surveillance protocol involving annual clinical review with plasma/urine metanephrines and biennial magnetic resonance imaging from skull base to pelvis.
