Paragangliomas are uncommon neuroendocrine neoplasms that occur in characteristic locations. While parasympathetic paragangliomas are mainly located at the head and neck, sympathetic paragangliomas are mostly located below the neck. Among parasympathetic paragangliomas, pheochromocytomas are the most common. Ninety percent of cases of pheochromocytomas arise within the adrenal gland. We report a case of a 63-year-old woman with an extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma of the organ of Zuckerkandl detected by CT and MRI and subsequently confirmed by postoperative histology and immunohistochemistry.
副神经节瘤是一种罕见的神经内分泌肿瘤,发生于特定部位。副交感神经节瘤主要位于头颈部,而交感神经节瘤大多位于颈部以下。在副交感神经节瘤中,嗜铬细胞瘤最为常见。90%的嗜铬细胞瘤病例起源于肾上腺。我们报告一例63岁女性,通过CT和MRI检测出肾上腺外祖克坎德尔器官嗜铬细胞瘤,随后经术后组织学和免疫组化确诊。
