Extra-adrenal paragangliomas causing catecholamine hypertension can be diagnosed by imaging and localized by I-131-MIBG scintigraphy, CAT scans, and angiography. Surgical treatment resolved hypertension in six patients with abdominal or thoracic tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Extra-adrenal paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors that can cause significant morbidity due to catecholamine excess.
  • Accurate diagnosis and localization are crucial for effective management.

Observation:

  • This study presents six cases of surgically treated extra-adrenal paraganglioma (five abdominal, one thoracic).
  • Diagnostic modalities included I-131-MIBG scintigraphy, computed tomography (CAT) scans, and angiography for lesion localization.

Findings:

  • Surgical intervention led to complete resolution of the hypertensive state in all six patients.
  • The presented cases highlight the successful management of these challenging tumors.

Implications:
