Paragangliomas are extra-adrenal chromaffin tumours that develop at the expense of neuroectodermal cells of the autonomous nervous system. Retroperitoneal and nonfunctioning forms are very rare. They are often asymptomatic and can reach a substantial size. Treatment usually involves surgery with the goal of total excision. We report the case of a patient who presented with indistinct abdominal pain. This case demonstrates how the diagnosis of retroperitoneal nonfunctioning paragangliomas relies mostly on histological results.
副神经节瘤是发生在自主神经系统神经外胚层细胞的肾上腺外嗜铬细胞瘤。腹膜后和无功能的形式非常罕见。它们通常没有症状，可以长到很大。治疗通常包括手术，目标是完全切除。我们报告了一例表现为不明确腹痛的患者。本病例说明了腹膜后无功能副神经节瘤的诊断主要依赖于组织学结果。
