Case Report.
Introduction And Importance:
To report a case of a paraganglioma presenting in an uncommon location in the abdomen.
Case Presentation:
A 24-year-old man with an abdominal lesion presented with one-year history of severe headaches and palpitations.
Interventions And Outcome:
The tumor was surgically resected and was later diagnosed as an extra-adrenal paraganglioma.
Conclusion:
The unique location of a paraganglioma could prove misleading, making it easier to confuse it with other malignant lesions, but it still can't be excluded, and with proper techniques it can be surgically excised.
