    This case report details a rare retroperitoneal non-chromaffin paraganglioma that invaded the spinal canal. Its unusual clinical progression, leading to cauda equina syndrome, has not been previously documented.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors arising from paraganglia.
    • Non-chromaffin paragangliomas typically occur in the head and neck, but can arise in other locations.
    • Retroperitoneal paragangliomas are uncommon and can be challenging to diagnose.

    Observation:

    • A case of a functionless non-chromaffin paraganglioma originating in the retroperitoneal space is presented.
    • The tumor exhibited unusual clinical evolution by invading the spinal canal.
    • This invasion resulted in a cross-section syndrome affecting the cauda equina.

    Findings:

    • The retroperitoneal non-chromaffin paraganglioma demonstrated aggressive local invasion.
    • Spinal canal involvement by a retroperitoneal paraganglioma is an exceptionally rare occurrence.

  • The tumor's clinical presentation and progression were unique and previously undescribed in medical literature.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering paraganglioma in the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal masses with neurological compromise.
    • Understanding the unusual clinical trajectory of such tumors is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.
    • Further research into the behavior and treatment of rare paraganglioma presentations is warranted.
