Paragangliomas are chromaffin tissue tumors arising in an extra-adrenal loc
ation. It is quite rare to find a paraganglioma concurrently with a pheochr
omocytoma. We report a patient who underwent resection of a retroperitoneal
mass that was characterized pathologically as a malignant paraganglioma, A
n incidental finding was a microscopic pheochromocytoma in the ipsilateral
adrenal gland. Copyright (C) 2001 S. Karger AG,Basel.
