A substantial number of patients with head and neck paragangliomas (HNPGLs) have biochemically active tumors, evidenced by increased urinary excretion of catecholamines and metabolites, including 3-methoxytyramine (3MT). It is unclear whether plasma levels of these parameters are more sensitive to

Patients with head-and-neck paragangliomas (HNPGL) are regularly screened for catecholamine excess. The clinical relevance of increased urinary secretion of 3-methoxytyramine is unclear in HNPGL. The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence and the clinical, biochemical, and radiological

Measurements of plasma normetanephrine (NMN) and metanephrine (MN) provide a sensitive test for diagnosis of phaeochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs), but do not allow detection of dopamine-producing tumours. Here we introduce a novel mass spectrometric based method coupled to ultraperformance liquid
