ABSTRACT

Paragangliomas are rare tumors arising from chromaffin cells found outside the adrenal medulla. They are commonly confused with pheochromocytomas due to its clinical similarity, in this matter is important to distinguish between these two types of tumors, because of the implications that each one has. For example paragangliomas have a greater propensity to metastasize than the pheochromocytomas and are also more frequently associated with familial syndromes.
