| Popis: | Paraganglioma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor affecting about 1 out of 2.000.000 of the population. It arises from neural crest, including tissues such as the adrenal medulla, carotid and aortic bodies, organs of Zuckerkandl, and other unnamed paragangliomas6,8. Only 15 cases, including the present one, have been reported worldwide. The preoperative diagnosis is difficult to obtain, because it is sometimes confounded with other types of tumor. In general, it affects 65-yearold patients. In the contrast-enhanced CT scans, the tumors appear as soft-tissue masses with either homogeneous enhancement or central areas of low attenuation. The presentation is a solid in small tumor or cystic in larger tumors (>6 cm). Most paragangliomas follow a benign clinical course. The treatment of the choice is surgical resection and this case is the first described in Brasil. |
