A case of duodenal gangliocytic paraganglioma (DGP) in a 67-year-old woman is presented. The DGP arose in the second part of the duodenum. Although most of the reported cases of DGP are considered benign, in the present case, we found regional lymph nodes containing metastatic tumor. Previous reports have documented metastases containing only epithelioid cells. The current case demonstrates metastatic tumor in regional lymph nodes containing all 3 of the DGP components (spindle cells, ganglion-like cells, and epithelioid cells).
本文报告了一例67岁女性十二指肠神经节细胞性副神经节瘤(DGP)。该DGP发生于十二指肠第二部。尽管大多数已报道的DGP病例被认为是良性的,但在本病例中,我们发现区域淋巴结存在转移瘤。既往报道的转移瘤仅含上皮样细胞。本病例显示区域淋巴结的转移瘤包含DGP的所有三种成分(梭形细胞、神经节样细胞和上皮样细胞)。
