Abstract
⺠The omental fat of pheochromocytoma patients is subjected to a phenotypic switch toward BAT. ⺠PRDM16 is expressed by paucilocular adipocytes. ⺠Proliferation is a secondary, if present, contribution to tissue remodeling. ⺠White-to-brown adipocyte transdifferentiation seems to be the major phenomenon underlining the phenotypic change.
