Portocaval paraganglioma: A second case report.

ABSTRACT:

Study design

Case Report.

Introduction and importance

To report a case of a paraganglioma presenting in an uncommon location in the abdomen.

Case presentation

A 24-year-old man with an abdominal lesion presented with one-year history of severe headaches and palpitations.

Interventions and outcome

The tumor was surgically resected and was later diagnosed as an extra-adrenal paraganglioma.

Conclusion

The unique location of a paraganglioma could prove misleading, making it easier to confuse it with other malignant lesions, but it still can't be excluded, and with proper techniques it can be surgically excised.
