Abstract:
Retroperitoneal paraganglioma remains an extremely rare type of tumor that arises from either sympathetic or parasympathetic neural crest cells. It could be functional or non-functional. Non-functional paraganglioma may present as a diagnostic challenge since patients are usually asymptomatic and tend to present to the hospital with complications from the invasion of the tumor. Malignancy is usually determined by the degree of metastasis. The gold standard of diagnosis is biopsy and obtaining a sample for histological examination. This author presents a case of asymptomatic, non-functional retroperitoneal paraganglioma with distant metastasis.
摘要:
腹膜后副神经节瘤仍然是一种极为罕见的肿瘤,由交感神经或副交感神经c细胞引起。它可以是功能性或非功能性的。非功能性副神经节瘤可能是一种诊断挑战,因为患者通常无症状,并且倾向于因肿瘤侵袭而出现并发症。恶性肿瘤通常由转移的程度决定。诊断的金标准是活检和获取用于组织学检查的样本。作者介绍了一例无症状的病例,无功能性腹膜后副神经节瘤伴远处转移。
