Popis: Paraganglioma and adrenal pheochromocytoma are tumors of common origin arising from chromaffin cells. However, it is extremely rare to find mediastinal paraganglioma simultaneously with bilateral adrenal pheochromocytoma. We report a 53-year-old man who was diagnosed with posterior mediastinal paraganglioma and bilateral adrenal pheochromocytoma and who underwent successful excision of the posterior mediastinal mass and bilateral total adrenalectomy.
