This second edition of Clinical and Experimental Pheochromocytoma required over five years to prepare. Considerably expanded and updated since the first edition, it includes studies that appear to be relevant to pheochromocytoma in humans. In addition, it includes new contributions by 18 physicians and scientists who have special expertise in a variety of areas involving pheochromocytoma. Unusual and instructive, often fascinating, case reports are periodically presented to increase the clinician's awareness of the devastating consequences of missing the diagnosis. This second edition is extraordinary in depth and breadth of information, and it provides a remarkable resource to anyone interested in pheochromocytoma and to all those managing patients with hypertension.
