This occurrence of functional ulnar nerve paraganglioma with the hitherto undescribed associated glomus cell hyperplasia and tumorlet formation attests to the probable existence of normal sympathetic paragangslia in the extremity and their intimate functional relationship with glomu bodies.

The Diagnosis and Clinical Significance of Paragangliomas in Unusual Locations

The spectrum of anatomic locations of paragangliomas is outlined, the importance of morphology in establishing the correct diagnosis, the clinical implications for management, and the impact of genetics on the distinction between multifocal primary tumors compared with malignant disease are summarized.

Paragangliomas and Pheochromocytomas

All paragangliomas have malignant potential; therefore, they are not classified as benign or malignant but rather only as primary and metastatic; Metastasis must be distinguished from multifocal primary disease.

Functional Mediastinal Paraganglioma Irrigated by Coronary Artery Collaterals Associated With Bilateral Renal Artery Fibro-Dysplasia in a Hypertensive Patient

A symptomatic functional anterior mediastinal paraganglioma (PGL) in a 56-year-old woman who was known to have renovascular resistant hypertension caused by fibromuscular dysplasia diagnosed several years ago is presented.

Excision of A Rare Bilateral Malignant Carotid Paraganglioma: What We Have Done and What’s to Do

Paragangliomas are non-epithelial neuroendocrine neoplasms that are most commonly identified in the head and neck and are associated with Mayer-Leroy syndrome and Mayer-Bouchut syndrome.
