True about adrenal pheochromocytoma is: (A) Chromaffin negative, (B) Mostly malignant, (C) Bilateral in 10 percnt cases, (D) Unilateral in 10 percnt cases
Answer is C. Refernce Robbins page no 1134 The "10 percent rule" forpheochromocytoma/paraganglioma--10% familial, 10% malignant, 10% extra-adrenal--is therefore no longer tenable. Current roles of pathology are limited to diagnosing primary or metastatic tumors and identifying features suggestive of malignant potential or hereditary disease.
