Malignant pheochromocytoma accounts for less than 10% of all pheochromocytomas.
These are usually slow growing and are poorly responsive to radiotherapy or chemotherapy.
Surgical debulking is occasionally necessary to decrease catecholamine synthesis.
High-dose radioactive MIBG has been used with some success to ablate primary and metastatic sites.
