Vaginal paraganglioma is a rare and unusual tumor occurring in the vaginal wall. It is a solitary primary paraganglioma, especially in atypical sites. Herein, we report an unusual case of a 17-year-old woman who had not experienced vomiting, or hypertension. She was found to have an immobile solid mass in the right side of her vaginal wall. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography scans revealed a well-defined solid ovoid mass adjacent to the bladder and pelvic floor. Tumor markers were within the normal range. A transient blood pressure increase occurred during the biopsy. After oral administration of antihypertensive drugs, surgery was performed to completely remove the mass. Histopathological examination indicated that it was a paraganglioma of the vagina. Repeat computed tomography examination did not reveal any local recurrence or distant metastasis during the 12-month follow-up period.
阴道副神经节瘤是一种发生于阴道壁的罕见且特殊的肿瘤。它是孤立的原发性副神经节瘤，尤其好发于非典型部位。在此，我们报告一例罕见病例，患者为一名17岁女性，无呕吐或高血压症状。她被发现阴道壁右侧有一个固定的实性肿块。正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描显示，在膀胱和盆底附近有一个边界清晰的实性卵圆形肿块。肿瘤标志物在正常范围内。活检过程中出现短暂血压升高。口服降压药后，进行手术将肿块完全切除。组织病理学检查表明这是一例阴道副神经节瘤。在12个月的随访期内，重复计算机断层扫描检查未发现任何局部复发或远处转移。
