National registry of pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas in the Colombian territory: Epidemiological insights and clinical profiles

#3922

Introduction: Limited epidemiological data exist concerning pheochromocytomas and sympathetic paragangliomas (PPGL) in Latin America, resulting in a reliance on small cohorts and case reports that may not accurately represent the true behavior of these tumors in the population.

Aim(s): This study aims to present the key characteristics of PPGL patients in Colombia.

Materials and methods: Retrospective data on demographics, clinical presentation, biochemical profiles, and treatment were collected from 124 patients with sympathetic pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas across eight cities in Colombia, from the inception of data availability at each institution until January 31, 2023.
