Chromaffin cell-centered pheochromocytoma (Pheo) is a rare tumour. Pheochromocytoma and how it affects the heart will be the topic of this article. Due to the comparable symptoms and indications of the sympathetic nervous system, a pheochromocytoma might be difficult to detect early. There are also other frequent differential diagnoses that might delay the detection of a pheochromocytoma. One of the most common side effects of pheochromocytoma is unmanageable hypertension. Hypertensive crisis (extreme increases in blood pressure) can develop, which is a life-threatening condition that leads to strokes or arrhythmia. Estimated to affect African Americans significantly, they frequently go undetected due to a lack of resources or accessibility of services. Because this tumour is difficult to identify and its symptoms often resemble those of other diseases, it is frequently overlooked. A pheochromocytoma’s long-term consequences can include cardiac muscle deterioration, congestive heart failure (CHF), a higher diabetes risk and possibly death. Masked hypertension (MH) is more common in people with adrenal pheochromocytoma, which has been related to an increased risk of heart disease. With the use of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, this research set out to find out how common mental health issues are among people with APs. There were 85 participants in all, 43 of whom had APs and 42 of whom had the same age, gender, BMI, smoking and diabetes as the AP patients. Measurements were made of the BP and AP in both the diseased and control groups. Retrospective data collection was used to gather biochemical, hormonal and radiological information on the patients. The Pearson–Boltzmann CNN method was then used to assess risk based on the diagnosis results. Furthermore, depending on the risk score, more nonselective blockers (e.g., prazosin, doxazosin, terazosin, and metyrosine) have been used to lower perioperative catecholamine levels, hence reducing illness risk. After a successful surgical excision of the tumour, the recommended therapy can usually be stopped quickly.

Objectives Paraganglioma (PGL) is a rare extra-adrenal neuroendocrine tumor, and intrapericardial PGL is extremely rare. We report a rare case of intrapericardial nonfunctional PGL, which may be used as a reference for further analysis. Case presentation This article presents the case of a 65-year-old woman with a 2-year history of lower extremity pain. Ultrasound revealed a hypoechoic mass adjacent to the right atrium, compressing and narrowing the right atrium. Computed tomography (CT) showed a low-density mass with marked enhancement suggestive of a solitary fibrous tumor or a vasogenic tumor of pericardial origin. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed the location and provided a primary diagnosis of solitary fibrous tumor, hemangioma, or hemangiosarcoma. The patient eventually underwent pericardial tumor resection, and the diagnosis of PGL was confirmed by postoperative histopathology. Conclusions Pathology is considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of PGL. Imaging examinations can provide valuable information for the diagnosis and management of intrapericardial PGL, and surgery remains the treatment of choice.
