Abstract

Extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas (paragangliomas) are rare. We report the case of a 20-year-old female at 15 weeks gestation, who was detected to have a large paraganglioma (6.5 x 5 cm) in the organ of Zuckerkandl during an antenatal visit. After medical termination of the pregnancy, successful laparoscopic excision of the paraganglioma was performed.
