Rare Pretracheal Paraganglioma Treated With Presurgical Embolization Followed by Surgical Resection

Mediastinal paragangliomas are rare tumors. Complete resection is the standard treatment. Paragangliomas are often highly vascularized, making resection potentially challenging. This report is of a 49-year-old female patient with a highly vascularized pretracheal paraganglioma that was successfully treated with preoperative embolization followed by surgical resection via left anterolateral thoracotomy.
