“…The second less common type is usually a solitary large solid nodule. [8] Pulmonary paragangliomas has to be differentiated from bronchial carcinomas and metastatic tumours. Imaging studies along with histopathology and immunohistochemical evaluation are needed for a definite diagnosis.…”

Extra-adrenal paragangliomas are rare with head and neck being the most common sites. [1] Primary paraganglioma of lung is even rarer. [2] Only a few cases of primary pulmonary paraganglioma have been reported in literature and was first reported by A. G. Heppleston in 1958. [3] A 57-year-old male, non-smoker presented with fever and persistent cough. The results of his clinical laboratory examinations as well as his blood pressure were normal. Arterial blood gas analysis showed normal oxygen saturation.

“…Since primary pulmonary paragangliomas are rare and they present no pathognomic clinical features, they are usually observed as asymptomatic solitary nodules and they can be suspected of being a primary lung malignancy. The reported incidence of metastasis of a pulmonary paragangliomas has varied and the incidence appears to be related to the length of the follow-up period ( 8 ).…”

“…Primary pulmonary paraganglioma was first reported by Heppleston in 1958 ( 9 ), and only 19 cases have been reported since then in the English literature ( 2 ). Three of these cases were malignancies with lymph nodes metastases ( 8 ). In the remaining cases, the lesions behaved in a benign manner.…”

Pulmonary Paraganglioma Manifesting as an Endobronchial Mass

et al. 2008

Thoracic paragangliomas comprise only 1-2% of all paragangliomas, including the adrenal pheochromocytomas, and these tumors are mostly found in the mediastinal compartments (1). To the best of our knowledge, there is only one case report in the pathology literature of endobronchial involvement by a primary pulmonary paraganglioma (2). We report here on the CT and bronchoscopic findings of a case of pathologically proven endobronchial paraganglioma in a 37-year-old woman. In our case, bronchoscopy and CT demonstrated an endobronchial hypervascular mass, which indicated the presence of carcinoid or hypervascular metastasis based on the known incidence of such tumors.

“…The patient underwent a whole-body PET-CT scan 60 min after injection of [ 18 F]fluorodeoxyglucose ( 18 F-FDG). The image demonstrated 18 F-FDG uptake into the left lung with ipsilateral intrapulmonary small lesions accompanied by multiple mediastinal lymph node metastases. The CT images showed two homogeneous masses in the left lower lobe, with the larger of the two measuring approximately 2.6 × 3.5 × 3.7 cm and the smaller one measuring approximately 1.6 × 1.6 × 3.5 cm.…”

Primary Paraganglioma of the Lung: A Case Report and Literature Review

Only 22 cases of primary pulmonary paraganglioma have been reported previously. This report presents a case of paraganglioma that arose in the lung of a 38-year-old woman who presented with chest pain and paroxysmal cough with little sputum. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography scan demonstrated two homogeneous masses in the left lower lobe accompanied by multiple mediastinal lymph node metastases. After resection, gross pathological examination confirmed two solid masses, which had a yellow-grey complexion and decreased blood supply and that invaded the mediastinum. Immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the presence of several biological tumour markers. This is the first known report to describe the computed tomography imaging characteristics of a paraganglioma, thereby improving understanding of its morphological features and helping in the differential diagnosis of lung tumours.
