Retroperitoneal paragangliomas: Report of 4 cases.

We reviewed the data of all patients managed for retroperitoneal paragangliomas (PGLs) between June 2010 and June 2011 to present our experience concerning this uncommon entity to highlight diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of retroperitoneal PGLs. All patients were admitted to the department of general and hepatobiliary surgery in the regional hospital of Jendouba, Tunisia. The size of the tumor was taken at its largest dimension, as determined in a computed tomography (CT) scan and pathological reports.
