Kang, Ko, Kim, Choi, and Woo: Non-Functional Retroperitoneal Paraganglioma Mimicking an Ovary Mass: A Case Report

Abstract

The paraganglioma is rare neuroendocrine tumor arising from paraganglionic tissue and most cases show characteristic endocrinological symptoms that are caused by catecholamine secretion. We report here on a case of nonfunctioning retroperitoneal paraganglioma that did not show any neuroendocrine symptoms, and this was misdiagnosed as ovarian tumor by ultrasonography and CT.
