Primary pulmonary paraganglioma is a rare type of extra-adrenal paragangliomas arising from neuroectodermal-derived paraganglionic tissue. We report herein the case of a 49-year-old woman with a round-like well-defined nodule in the right middle lobe detected by chest CT. FDG PET/CT also revealed this homogeneous nodule with increased FDG accumulation. Finally, the patient underwent right middle lobe resection, and the pathological findings demonstrated the diagnosis of pulmonary paraganglioma.
原发性肺副神经节瘤是一种罕见的肾上腺外副神经节瘤，来源于神经外胚层来源的副神经节组织。我们在此报告一例 49 岁女性病例，胸部 CT 显示右中叶有一个类圆形边界清楚的结节。FDG PET/CT 还显示这个均匀的结节 FDG 摄取增加。最后，患者接受了右中叶切除术，病理结果显示为肺副神经节瘤。
