    This case study details a rare nonchromaffin paraganglioma in a child, presenting as a primary thoracic rib tumor. Surgical removal was successful, with no recurrence observed years later.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Oncology
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Nonchromaffin paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors.
    • Primary thoracic rib tumors are uncommon in pediatric patients.

    Observation:

    • A 7-year-old girl presented with a large (7 cm) nonchromaffin paraganglioma originating from the rib.
    • This represents the first reported instance of this tumor type in this specific location.

    Findings:

    • The tumor involved the rib of origin and adjacent ribs, necessitating resection.
    • Surgical intervention included removal of affected ribs and the middle lobe of the lung.
    • The proposed origin involves ganglion cells migrating during intercostal nerve development.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the known clinical presentations of nonchromaffin paragangliomas.
    • Successful surgical management and chest wall reconstruction with Marlex mesh offer a viable treatment approach.
    • Long-term follow-up confirmed no evidence of recurrence, highlighting the efficacy of the intervention.
