Thoracic paragangliomas are a rare cause of hypertension. We report the occurrence of a sporadic benign norepinephrine-producing branchiomeric paraganglioma in a 32-year-old man with paroxysms of hypertension. After localization by iodine 123-metaiodobenzyl-guanidine scintigraphy and magnetic resonance imaging, the paraganglioma was resected successfully below the right pulmonary artery through a right-sided posterolateral thoracotomy. The particular location was consistent with a branchiomeric paraganglioma in an extremely rare extrapulmonary location.
胸段副神经节瘤是高血压的一种罕见病因。我们报告了一名32岁男性阵发性高血压患者发生散发性良性去甲肾上腺素分泌型鳃器副神经节瘤的病例。经123碘-间碘苄胍闪烁扫描和磁共振成像定位后，通过右侧后外侧开胸术在右肺动脉下方成功切除了副神经节瘤。其特殊位置与极为罕见的肺外位置的鳃器副神经节瘤相符。
