Popis: Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors derived from extraadrenal autonomic paraganglia, which may secrete catecholamines. They are potentially metastatic and require very long-term follow-up. Esophageal paragangliomas are extremely rare and present a diagnostic challenge. Lack of clinical suspicion and unrecognized catecholamine hypersecretion may lead to hemodynamic instabilities during surgery. Two patients with esophageal paragangliomas were previously reported. We report a 39-year-old man with a giant high-risk esophageal paraganglioma who underwent a hybrid minimally invasive 3-hole esophagectomy.
