Paragangliomas are rare tumors arising from undifferentiated cells of the primitive neural crest.

Levels of the serum epinephrine and norepinephrine were high. We performed a scanned biopsy; the histopathological examination and the immunohistochemical analyses concluded the diagnosis of a retroperitoneal paraganglioma. The tumor was judged secreting and inoperable; therefore it was decided to be treated with radiotherapy. |
