An unusual mesenteric tumor 'paraganglioma': a case report.

Introduction: Paragangliomas are mostly localized in the adrenal medulla and they are usually pheochromocytomas, derived from the neural crest, but otherwise mesenteric paragangliomas are extremely rare tumors.

Case Presentation: In this article we represent a 59-year-old female with an abdominal mass and pain due to mesenteric paraganglioma.

Conclusions: Paragangliomas can occur as mesenteric tumors; usually, preoperative accurate diagnosis is not possible with imaging methods and precise diagnosis is possible after histological evaluation.

Diagnostic challenge in papillary thyroid carcinoma with cervical lymphadenopathy, metastasis, or tuberculous lymphadenitis.

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most frequent histological subtype of thyroid cancer. Total thyroidectomy with neck dissection is recommended for treatment. Tuberculous adenitis is a common cause of lymphadenopathy in endemic areas.
