Multiple paragangliomas of the head and neck are rare conditions. Carotid paragangliomas are most common multiple paragangliomas. Laryngeal paragangliomas are very rare neuroendocrine tumors and usually are seen as symptomatic solitary lesions. We present multimodality imaging findings of incidentally detected laryngeal paraganglioma in a woman with synchronous carotid body paraganglioma and positive family history. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of laryngeal and carotid body paragangliomas in a patient with positive family history. Radiologists should keep in mind that paragangliomas may occur in various locations as multiple tumors.
头颈部多发副神经节瘤是罕见疾病。颈动脉体副神经节瘤是最常见的多发副神经节瘤。喉副神经节瘤是非常罕见的神经内分泌肿瘤,通常表现为有症状的孤立性病变。我们展示了一名患有同步颈动脉体副神经节瘤且有阳性家族史的女性患者偶然发现的喉副神经节瘤的多模态影像学表现。据我们所知,这是首例有阳性家族史患者同时患有喉和颈动脉体副神经节瘤的病例。放射科医生应牢记,副神经节瘤可能作为多发肿瘤出现在不同部位。
