Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine neoplasms derived from sympathetic or parasympathetic paraganglia and have the ability to secrete catecholamines. We present the case of a 37-year-old asymptomatic female who underwent right ovarian cystectomy for a mature cystic teratoma and was found to have an intra-tumoral paraganglioma. More research is needed to determine metastatic potential as well as the likelihood of recurrence of these unique neoplasms.
副神经节瘤是一种罕见的神经内分泌肿瘤，起源于交感或副交感神经节，具有分泌儿茶酚胺的能力。我们报告了一例37岁无症状女性的病例，该患者因成熟性囊性畸胎瘤接受了右侧卵巢囊肿切除术，术中发现肿瘤内有副神经节瘤。需要更多的研究来确定这些独特肿瘤的转移潜能以及复发可能性。
