Abstract
Paragangliomas arise from sympathetic or parasympathetic paraganglia and should now be defined by their site and type. The term pheochromocytoma is reserved for intra-adrenal tumors. This short review discusses the gross and microscopic features, the immunohistochemical profile, the problem of recognizing malignant potential, and the rare instances where a differential diagnosis has to be considered.Entities:
