Childhood dermal tumors with melanocytic features is an unusual tumor that can create diagnostic confusion. Among them, paraganglioma-like melanocytic tumors- previous included in melanocytic tumors of uncertain malignant potential- has some particular histopathologic and immunohistochemical features. We describe a case of 13 years old girl with a paraganglioma-like dermal melanocytic tumor of ...
Nonfunctional bladder paragangliomas may present clinical, radiology and pathological features similar to bladder cancer, so knowledge of this generally benign neuroendocrine neoplasm is of great importance to avoid misdiagnosis. We present the case of a patient with no clinical symptoms of paraganglioma and with radiological and cystoscopy examination results suggestive of urothelial carcinoma...
INTRODUCTION To date, no effective systemic therapies have been made available for paraganglioma. However, multiple mutations in susceptibility genes have been identified that are potential targets for sorafenib, an oral multitargeted tyrosine-kinase inhibitor. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 69-year-old Chinese man with mediastinal paraganglioma that had metastasized to the bone. T...
PATIENT Female, 58 FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Solitary paraganglioma of the hypoglossal nerve Symptoms: Neck pain Medication: - Clinical Procedure: Surgical resection Specialty: Otolaryngology. OBJECTIVE Rare disease. BACKGROUND Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors originating in the neural crest. Only a few cases of hypoglossal paraganglioma have been reported in the published literature. T...
BACKGROUND Paragangliomas occur most commonly in head and neck region and much less frequently, they are found in the retroperitoneum. Composite paraganglioma-ganglioneuroma of the retroperitoneum is very rare. CASE PRESENTATION We present an unusual case of retroperitoneal composite paraganglioma-ganglioneuroma discovered on computed tomography in a 63-year-old female patient. Routine hemato...
INTRODUCTION Paragangliomas that originate from the urinary bladder are extremely rare. In most series, bladder paragangliomas often cause micturitional attacks. Treatment modalities include transurethral resection and cystectomy (partial or total). Prognosis of bladder paraganglioma is similar to that of adrenal pheochromocytoma. CASE PRESENTATION A 55-year-old Chinese woman presenting with ...
Background Measurement of plasma metanephrines is regarded as one of the best screening tests for phaeochromocytoma/paraganglioma. Current guidelines recommend that samples are ideally collected in the supine position after 30 min rest and interpreted using supine reference ranges, in order to optimize the diagnostic performance of the test. Current practice in our centre is to collect samples ...
Paragangliomas are rare tumors of the paraganglia composed of specialized neural crest cells arising in association with sympathetic ganglia. Here we report a case of progressive, metastatic paraganglioma (glomus jugulare tumor) responsive to single agent gemcitabine. In addition, a brief review of chemotherapy for paraganglioma follows the case presentation.
BACKGROUND Paraganglioma is an extra site of pheochromocytoma. Paraganglioma in the bladder is a very rare disease accounting for 0.06% of all bladder tumors. CASE PRESENTATION A 77-year-old Japanese man was referred to our department for the further examination of a bladder tumor detected on preoperative computed tomography of his gastric cancer. Cystoscopy revealed a submucosal tumor in the...
UNLABELLED Although (123)I-MIBG has been in clinical use for the imaging of pheochromocytoma for many years, a large multicenter evaluation of this agent has never been performed. The present study was designed to provide a prospective confirmation of the performance of (123)I-MIBG scintigraphy for the evaluation of patients with known or suspected primary or metastatic pheochromocytoma or para...
