Abstract
A case of secreting, asymptomatic retroperitoneal paraganglioma is presented. Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors and the malignant behaviour, higher than pheochromocytomas, is based on metastases or local recurrence. The treatment is complete surgical excision. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy may be used for palliation of symptoms.Entities:
