“…Tetsuo Nozaki et al reported the first case of the laparoscopic resection of a retrocaval paraganglioma, demonstrating its feasibility, despite the high level of compression of the IVC. 7 Also, Saud Alrasheedi reported that a robotic approach as well as laparoscopic for retrocaval paraganglioma resection is feasible and safe. 8 Most resection of laparoscopic or robotic retrocaval paraganglioma is confined to the functioning tumor.…”

R etroperitoneal paragangliom a is located prim arily at the para-aortic area and functioning tum or, how ever, non-functioning and retrocaval located tum ors are rare. Laparoscopic retrocaval paragangliom a resection is technically challenging due to vena cava close relation. A 49-year-old m ale w as referred for a retroperitoneal tum or, detected by FDG-PET scan. He had undergone right thyroidectom y for papillary carcinom a one year ago. Abdom inal com puted tom ography (CT) scan show ed a m ass m easuring 2 cm in size located behind the inferior vena cava (IVC), w hich deviate IVC anteriorly. To the best of our know ledge, this is the first report on laparoscopic resection of a retrocaval non-functioning paragangliom a. In conclusion, laparoscopic retrocaval paragangliom a resection is safe and feasible.
