laryngeal paraganglioma: a diagnostic challenge
Authors
abstract
paragangliomas are neoplasms of neural crest origin. in the head and neck, they uncommonly involve the larynx. the distinction between paragangliomas and other neuroendocrine tumors can be difficult. precise diagnosis is important in order to optimize patient treatment. diagnosis relies mostly on histopathologic examination followed by immunohistochemistry. here we report a 77-year-old woman with laryngeal paraganglioma that initially misdiagnosed as laryngeal carcinoid tumor.

Here, we present a case of a 78-year-old man that underwent gastrointestinal endoscopy because of one- monthhistory of dysphagia to liquids and solid foods with accompanying weight loss. On endoscopy, there was distalesophageal stenosis. Multiple biopsies were obtained. Histologic examination of the samples revealed normaltissue. The stenosis was treated by dilatation and abdomino pelvic comput...
full textLaryngeal Paraganglioma: A Case Report
Paragangliomas in the head and neck are found typically in the region of the carotid body, jugular body, and along the 9th and 10th cranial nerves. They can occur in multicenteric forms, but generally, laryngeal paragangliomas are not found in these patients. Only two cases of laryngeal paraganglioma have been reported with a synchronous lesion elsewhere. We report an additional case of a 34-ye...

full textParaganglioma: a diagnostic dilemma.
We report a case of intra abdominal paraganglioma in a 46-year-old male, that measured 12.5 x 10 x 10 cm and weighed 340 grams. A CT scan was done for the evaluation of an abdominal mass. The tumour was surgically removed and followed by an uneventful post operative recovery. On follow up at one year patient had no active complaints. Histologically paraganglioma was composed of tumour cells tha...
