Abstrakt: | Study Design: Case Report. Introduction and Importance: To report a case of a paraganglioma presenting in an uncommon location in the abdomen. Case Presentation: A 24-year-old man with an abdominal lesion presented with one-year history of severe headaches and palpitations. Interventions and Outcome: The tumor was surgically resected and was later diagnosed as an extra-adrenal paraganglioma. Conclusion: The unique location of a paraganglioma could prove misleading, making it easier to confuse it with other malignant lesions, but it still can't be excluded, and with proper techniques it can be surgically excised. Competing Interests: All authors declared no conflict of interest. (© 2022 The Author(s).) |
