Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors originating from neural crest cells.
  • Retroperitoneal paragangliomas are uncommon, often presenting as large abdominal masses.

Observation:

  • A 53-year-old patient presented with a large retroperitoneal tumor above the left kidney.
  • Serum levels of adrenaline, noradrenaline, and VMA were within normal limits.

Findings:

  • Histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses confirmed a non-secreting paraganglioma.
  • Complete surgical resection of the tumor was achieved without complications.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering paraganglioma in the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal masses, even with normal hormone levels.
  • Successful surgical management is crucial for favorable patient outcomes.
