Abstract:
Retroperitoneal paraganglioma is a kind of uncommon tumor that occurs most commonly in the organ of Zuckerkandl located in the paraaortic area between the origin of the inferior mesenteric artery and the origin of the iliac artery. We experienced a case of retroperitoneal paraganglioma with an unusual location in a 52-year-old woman who had epigastric pain. Abdominal CT scan and ERCP showed a hypervascular mass near the distal CBD with bile duct dilatation. The surgically resected mass was diagnosed as paraganglioma. We report this unusual retroperitoneal paraganglioma, with a review of the literature.
