Non Functional Retroperitoneal Paraganglioma Presenting with Extensive Skeletal Disease: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: Paragangliomas (PGs) are very rare extra adrenal tumors derived from neuroendocrine cells of autonomic nervous system which rarely present as retroperitoneal mass. The Extra-adrenal paragangliomas are reported to account for only 10-15% of all paragangliomas. They may present incidentally as a mass. Histological findings are used for definitive diagnosis and surgery is the treatment of choice. We report a case of a non functional retroperitoneal PG with extensive skeletal metastasis in a 22-year-old gentleman treated with palliative chemotherapy. Keywords: Paragangliomas, neuroendocrine, skeletal metastasis.
