Abstracts

EN

Paraganglioma is a rare neoplasm originating from extra-adrenal pheochromocytes of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. It is usually benign and the treatment method of choice is a complete resection of the tumour. The authors present a case of 66-year-old female patient with a multifocal benign retroperitoneal paraganglioma, which was completely removed during surgery.
