Retroperitoneal Paraganglioma: A Case Report

Abstract

Paraganglioma is an extra-adrenal tumour of the autonomic nervous system. Definitive diagnosis of paraganglioma is usually done with histologic examination. Surgical removal is the treatment of choice for symptomatic paraganglioma. We report a case of functional retroperitoneal paraganglioma in a 35-year-old patient who presented with symptoms of intermittent headache, palpitation and sweating.
