Extra-adrenal /retroperitoneal paraganglioma is a rare cause
of hypertension in young with increased incidence of
metastasis as compared to adrenal pheochromocytoma. We
present a case of a young female with history of headache,
nausea/vomiting, palpitations, uncontrolled hypertension,
heat intolerance and diaphoresis. The 24-hour urine
catecholamine levels were elevated. Clinical diagnosis of
pheochromocytoma was made and further evaluation with
Computed Tomography (CT) scan of the adrenals revealed
extradrenal para-aortic retroperitoneal mass in keeping with
paraganglioma. Gallium-68 DOTATE positron emission
tomography-CT scan (PET-CT) confirmed the diagnosis
without evidence of metastatic foci.

A 54-year-old woman presented with a large mass on her right hand that was progressively enlarging over a period of a few years. She had cosmetic concerns about the enlarging mass and experienced interference with routine activity. Physical examination revealed a soft, mobile, non-tender, lobulated mass with well-defined margins. Magnetic resonance imaging showed the soft lump to be a lipomatous mass in the deep palmar space of the hand, which was subsequently surgically resected. The imaging features of deep palmar lipomas of the hand and other common benign lesions at this location are discussed.

A 14-year-old boy presented with left anterior knee pain, which was aggravated by exercise and relieved by rest. On clinical examination, there was tenderness at the tibial tuberosity with reproducible pain on resisted active extension of the knee. Radiographs showed heterotopic ossification of the patellar tendon with irregularity and fragmentation of the tibial tubercle. Clinical and radiological findings were consistent with Osgood-Schlatter disease, which is a traction apophysitis of the tibial tubercle commonly occurring in adolescents. The clinical presentation and imaging features are discussed.
