Acronym: MICROBAT
Brief Summary: Patients affected by pheochromocytoma PHEO have brown-adipose tissue BAT hyperactivation They perform in routine settings a FDG PET-CT scan The high metabolic activity of BAT and its ability to consume both glucose and fatty acid suggest that it may have potential as a therapeutic target in the treatment of obesity However alternative non-invasive techniques to PET-CT BAT detection still need more validation Accordingly our aim will be to measure the temperature and microcirculation of the skin overlaying BAT depots in the region of FDG-uptake detected by 18F-FDG PETCT before and after a cold test in PHEO patients
Detailed Description: Objectives and Methodology

To analyse the change in temperature and microcirculation of the skin overlaying BAT depots in the region of FDG-uptake detected by 18F-FDG PETCT before and after a cold test in PHEO patients
To check the decreased temperature and microcirculatory response after a cold test following resection of the tumor

All the patients affected by will benefit from a

clinical treatments
biological evaluations glycemia triglycerides total cholesterol HDL-C LDL-C plasma epinephrine and norepinephrine urine catecholamine
cutaneous microcirculation by means of Laser Speckle Imaging will be recorded at rest and during a cold test in the supra-clavicular region
cutaneous microcirculation by means of Laser Doppler Flowmetry will be recorded at rest and during a cold test with one probe in the supra-clavicular region and one probe in umbilical region
skin temperature by means of infrared thermography will be recorded at rest and during a cold test in the supra-clavicular region

Patients who will have surgery will be investigated before and after one year following resection of the tumor
