Posterior mediastinal paraganglioma with bilateral adrenal pheochromocytoma

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articlepeer-review

Abstract

Paraganglioma and adrenal pheochromocytoma are tumors of common origin arising from chromaffin cells. However, it is extremely rare to find mediastinal paraganglioma simultaneously with bilateral adrenal pheochromocytoma. We report a 53-year-old man who was diagnosed with posterior mediastinal paraganglioma and bilateral adrenal pheochromocytoma and who underwent successful excision of the posterior mediastinal mass and bilateral total adrenalectomy.
