Paragangliomas are neuroendocrine tumors derived from chromaffin cells of the extraadrenal sympathetic system; mediastinal paragangliomas are rare. We illustrate and describe the imaging findings in two cases of mediastinal paraganglioma, one nonfunctional aorticopulmonary paraganglioma and one locally aggressive functional aorticosympathetic paraganglioma first observed as a mediastinal mass on chest plain-film radiographs.
副神经节瘤是起源于肾上腺外交感神经系统嗜铬细胞的神经内分泌肿瘤;纵隔副神经节瘤罕见。我们展示并描述了两例纵隔副神经节瘤的影像学表现,一例是非功能性主动脉肺副神经节瘤,另一例是局部侵袭性功能性主动脉交感神经副神经节瘤,最初在胸部平片上表现为纵隔肿块。
