Extra-adrenal paraganglioma of the retroperitoneum with metastasis to the vertebra is very rare. To our knowledge this is the first report of this kind of disease in the literature.
Here, we present an oroginal case of paraganglioma of the retroperitoneum with metastasis to the abdominal vertebra in a 42-year-old female patient who was successfully treated by complete removal of the tumor and its metastasis. The patient was followed up for four years and remained disease-free.
Our case demonstrated the need to consider paraganglioma of the retroperitoneum in the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal mass, metastatic tumors to the vertebra, and the importance of radical surgery for a successful management of the disease.

发生于腹膜后且转移至脊柱的肾上腺外副神经节瘤非常罕见。据我们所知,这是文献中首例此类疾病的报告。
在此,我们报告了一例 42 岁女性腹膜后副神经节瘤伴腹部脊柱转移的原始病例,该患者通过完全切除肿瘤及其转移灶成功治疗。该患者随访 4 年,疾病无复发。
我们的病例表明,在鉴别腹膜后肿块、脊柱转移瘤时需要考虑腹膜后副神经节瘤,根治性手术对成功治疗该疾病非常重要。
