Successful laparoscopic resection of a paraganglioma immediately behind the inferior vena cava and bilateral renal veins.

Introduction: Paragangliomas have a rich blood flow and are located around large vessels; thus, resection is often difficult. We herein report a case of a paraganglioma that was located immediately behind the inferior vena cava and bilateral renal veins and successfully resected by laparoscopic surgery.

Case Presentation: A 72-year-old man was incidentally diagnosed with a 7-cm retroperitoneal mass immediately behind the inferior vena cava and bilateral renal veins by computed tomography.
