Abstract
At least 10% of pheochromocytoma and sympathetic paraganglioma (PPGL) are malignant, yet there is no specific biomarker of malignancy. Societies guidelines sugget the use of 3 Methoxytyramines (3MTT) for the diagnosis of malignancy, however few studies evaluated 24H-urinary 3MTT as a predictor of malignancy.
