dehydroepiandrosterone and Paraganglioma

dehydroepiandrosterone has been researched along with Paraganglioma in 2 studies

Dehydroepiandrosterone: A major C19 steroid produced by the ADRENAL CORTEX. It is also produced in small quantities in the TESTIS and the OVARY. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) can be converted to TESTOSTERONE; ANDROSTENEDIONE; ESTRADIOL; and ESTRONE. Most of DHEA is sulfated (DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE SULFATE) before secretion.
dehydroepiandrosterone : An androstanoid that is androst-5-ene substituted by a beta-hydroxy group at position 3 and an oxo group at position 17. It is a naturally occurring steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands.

Paraganglioma: A neural crest tumor usually derived from the chromoreceptor tissue of a paraganglion, such as the carotid body, or medulla of the adrenal gland (usually called a chromaffinoma or pheochromocytoma). It is more common in women than in men. (Stedman, 25th ed; from Segen, Dictionary of Modern Medicine, 1992)

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors and the malignant behaviour, higher than pheochromocytomas, is based on metastases or local recurrence."1.30[Secreting retroperitoneal paraganglioma. Apropos of a case]. ( Farthouat, P; Meusnier, F; Platel, JP; Pourrière, M; Thouard, H, 1997)
