Core Tip
Core Tip: Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) is a rare cause of secondary hypertension, and early and accurate diagnosis is still facing challenges. A case of subclinical paraganglioma (PGL) complicated with essential hypertension was analyzed retrospectively. A typical and subclinical pheochromocytoma and PGL should be paid more attention due to the lack of clinical features. At the same time, standardized etiological investigation of secondary hypertension is also an indispensable part of an accurate diagnosis. Clinical practice has proven that subclinical PGL and essential hypertension are two independent diseases that can coexist. After reviewing the literature, it is considered that genetic susceptibility is the same pathogenic factor.
