Paraganglioma, a catecholamine-producing tumor originating in extra-adrenal paraganglion cells, is rare in children. Although diagnosis of paraganglioma is based on the presence of catecholamine symptoms, some patients lack such symptoms. Delayed diagnosis is associated with tumor growth and invasion of surrounding vessels.

Primary retroperitoneal neoplasms (PRNs) are a complex and diverse group of tumors arising in the retroperitoneal space, excluding those from retroperitoneal organs. These masses present significant diagnostic challenges due to their heterogeneous nature. PRNs primarily include sarcomas, neurogenic tumors, extragonadal germ cell tumors, and lymphomas, with the majority being malignant.

Background: Pheochromocytoma, or paraganglioma (PPGL), is a tumor that arises from catecholamine-producing chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla or paraganglion. Systemic therapy, such as the combination of cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and dacarbazine or therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals such as [131I] meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG), may be administered in cases of locally advanced tumors or distant metastases. However, the current therapies are limited in terms of efficacy and implementation.

Department of Hemetology/Oncology, Advocate Christ Hospital, Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA.

Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors that arise from the paraganglia, which are clusters of neuroendocrine cells associated with the autonomic nervous system. These tumors are commonly found in the adrenal medulla but can also occur in other locations outside the adrenal gland. Here, we present a case report of a slow-growing paraganglioma in the left neck with spinal metastasis in a 60-year-old man.

Background: Carotid body tumours (CBTs) are neoplasms originating from the paraganglionic cells of the carotid body. Excision is the main route of treatment. This study sought to assess the surgical outcomes of post-carotid body tumour resection without preoperative embolization and discern any underlying relationships between modified Shamblin classes (MSC) and related complications.
