BACKGROUND: Paragangliomas (PGLs) are uncommon tumors of uncertain malignant potential. Multifocal paragangliomas are scarcely reported in the literature. CASE SUMMARY: A 25-year-old male patient was reported for the first time with multifocal para-aortic and para-vesical PGLs. The diagnosis was ide...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: Paragangliomas (PGLs) are uncommon tumors of uncertain malignant potential. Multifocal paragangliomas are scarcely reported in the literature. CASE SUMMARY: A 25-year-old male patient was reported for the first time with multifocal para-aortic and para-vesical PGLs. The diagnosis was identified by blood catecholamine tests and enhanced CT scan and MIBG scintigraphy. A resection surgery was performed for treatment and the immunochemistry test of the tumors presented the features of PGL. CONCLUSION: A case of multifocal para-aortic and para-vesical PGLs confirmed by the catecholamine test, enhanced CT, and MIBG scintigraphy is presented. The cooperation of experienced surgeons, anesthesiologists, and endocrinologists was critical in treatment.
