Introduction And Importance: Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors, typically arising from extra-adrenal chromaffin cells. Primary intra-spinal paragangliomas are uncommon, and metastatic spinal paragangliomas without paraneoplastic symptoms are even rarer. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges posed by such rare tumors.

We report the case of a 27-year-old woman with an ovarian tumour that arose during pregnancy. The patient did not have postpartum checkups and came to the clinic after eighteen months, presenting multiple lymphadenopathy predominantly in the cervical region, one of which was biopsied.

Clinical manifestations such as cervical lymphadenopathy and irregular mucosal surfaces can be challenging to distinguish from nasopharyngeal cancer or malignant lymphoma.
