Resumen
GOMEZ GALAN, Sebastián; MOSQUERA PAZ, Manuel Santiago; KADAMANI ABIYOMAA, Akram y SANCHEZ DE GUZMAN, Gabriel. Paraganglioma retroperitoneal no funcional: reporte de un caso en la Fundación Cardioinfantil, Bogotá, Colombia. Iatreia [online]. 2014, vol.27, n.3, pp.337-341. ISSN 0121-0793.
Paragangliomas are tumors derived from chromaffin cells from the neural crest. They are able to secrete catecholamines, hormones and peptides. They can be found in the skull base, neck, thorax and abdomen, and may be functional or not-functional. We report the case of a male patient with non-specific pain in the right hypochondrium. Based on the initial imaginological studies a neuroblastoma was suspected, but it not possible to differentiate it from a paraganglioma, a ganglioneuroblastoma or a neurofibroblastoma. The pathological study of the surgical specimen revealed extensive hemorrhagic areas, consistent with a non-functional extra-adrenal paraganglioma. This is an infrequent neoplasia with difficult surgical treatment.
