Mediastinal aortosympathetic paraganglioma: report of two cases
Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann.
2007 Aug.
Abstract
Thoracic paragangliomas or extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas are uncommon neoplasms that may arise from the extra-adrenal paraganglia. Paragangliomas arising in the anterior mediastinum are most frequent and are related to the base of the heart. Paragangliomas of the posterior mediastinum are most infrequent, and arise from aorticosympathetic paraganglia. We present two cases of posterior mediastinum paraganglioma. Complete tumor resection was done through posterolateral thoracotomy. The diagnosis of aorticosympathectic paraganglioma was established by histologic examination.
