Abstract
Paraganglioma is an uncommon neuroendocrine tumor. Most produce catecholamines, and so usually manifest with hypertensive crisis, palpitations, headache and sweating. This tumor is diagnosed by measurement of plasma or urinary catecholamines and by computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and 123Iâmetaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy. Surgery is the only potentially curative treatment.
