Abstrakt:	Head and neck paragangliomas are slow growing and highly vascular neuroendocrine tumors. It is currently assumed that SDHAF2 variants exclusively cause benign and often multicentric head and neck paragangliomas. Here, we present a patient diagnosed with multiple SDHAF2-linked head and neck paragangliomas who in addition developed paraganglioma metastases to the lung and spine and a primary or metastatic paraganglioma in the head of the pancreas. During the course of the disease, a range of management strategies were deployed for the different head and neck tumors, including total resections, partial resections, and active surveillance. After identification of the paraganglioma metastases, the patient was treated with lanreotide after which the disease remained stable during the 27 months of follow-up. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
