Canine phaeochromocytoma: a guide to diagnosis and treatment

Clinical signs are primarily associated with excessive catecholamine secretion and, to a lesser extent, with the space-occupying or invasive nature of the tumour (Table 1).

Approximately 50% of affected dogs show hypertension at the time of investigation.
