    [VIRTUAL] Metastatic Paraganglioma Secondary to SDHB Gene Mutation: A Case Report and Review of New Therapies (ENDO-I 2020)
    Though rare, pheochromocytomas (pheo) and PGL can be lethal if not diagnosed and managed appropriately. As of 2019, at least 19 genes have been identified that predispose to familial pheochromocytoma/PGL. Importantly, PGL that are associated with SDHB, the mutation our patient had, are more likely to appear in the abdomen (rather than the head and neck), are usually secretory (most commonly norepinephrine) and are more likely to become metastatic (21-79%).
