Abstract:
A 67-year-old man presented with lower limb weakness, palpitations, and insomnia. His urinary total metanephrine and normetanephrine levels were high. Computed tomography showed a 48 × 34-mm oval mass on the dorsal side of the pancreas and portal vein between the aorta and vena cava. Because of the tumor location, we performed laparoscopic surgery using a retroperitoneal approach. We described a case of a patient with primary retroperitoneal paraganglioma between the aorta and vena cava who underwent retroperitoneoscopic resection. Our case suggests that this procedure can be safely performed.
