| Popis: | We present a case of a nonfunctioning intrapericardial paraganglioma that presented as a typical chest pain in a 51-year-old woman. The tumor was initially diagnosed on coronary angiography where it had direct irrigation from the right coronary artery. Further computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans showed significant compression of the superior vena cava by the tumor. This was excised through median sternotomy and extracorporeal circulation. Histopathological examination of the mass was characteristic of a paraganglioma. |
