Paraganglioma in the nasal cavity

Paraganglioma of the nasal cavity.

Paragangliomata of the head and neck, although a recognised entity, are extremely rare tumours and will be encountered by only a few clinicians. Furthermore, the nasal cavity and nasopharynx are among the least common sites in which this neoplasm may arise. We describe a case of a paraganglioma of the nasal cavity mucosa and draw attention to the difficulties encountered in predicting the biolo...

Nasal Polyp - An Incidental Paraganglioma.

The nose is an uncommon site for head and neck paraganglioma. The diagnosis is seldom established pre-operatively; its rarity, infrequent functionality and often benign biologic outcome underlie this fact. We present one such case in a 60-year-old man who presented with right nasal obstruction and episodic epistaxis. Rhinoscopy revealed a fleshy polypoid mass arising from the anterior cartilagi...

Nasal paraganglioma: a case report.

Paragangliomas are tumors of the autonomic nervous system, arising from paraganglionic tissue. Paragangliomas of the head and neck region are very rare. In the head and neck, the most common sites of origin of this neoplasm are the carotid body, the jugular bulb and the vagal body. Paragangliomas of the nose and paranasal sinuses are very uncommon.
