Head and neck paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors derived from neural crest cells of parasympathetic ganglia or the widely dispersed neuroendocrine cells of the head and neck region. Paragangliomas of the sinonasal tract and nasopharynx are rare. The clinicopathologic features of this unique example of a hereditary, nasopharyngeal paraganglioma, and selective entities that are included in its differential diagnosis are presented.
