Phaeochromocytomas (PHEO) and paragangliomas are rare catecholamine-producing tumours. Although 10-30% of these tumours metastasise histopathological criteria to discriminate malignant from benign tumours have not been established therefore reliable histopathological markers predicting metastasis are urgently required. A total of 163 tumours including 40 metastatic tumours collected by the Phaeochromocytoma Study Group in Japan (PHEO-J) were analysed using a system called grading system for adrenal phaeochromocytoma and paraganglioma (GAPP). The tumours were scored based on GAPP criteria as follows: histological pattern cellularity comedo-type necrosis capsular/vascular invasion Ki67 labelling index and catecholamine type. All tumours were scored from 0 to 10 points and were graded as one of the three types: well-differentiated (WD 0-2 points) moderately differentiated (MD 3-6 points) and poorly differentiated (PD 7-10 points). GAPP scores of the non-metastatic and metastatic groups were 2.08 +/- 0.17 and 5.33 +/- 0.43 (mean +/- S. E. M. P
