Primer pankreas paraganlioması: Vaka sunumu ve literatür incelemesi

Adrenal bezi dışında yer alan paragangiomalar, adrenal dışı kromafin hücrelerden köken alan nadir görülen tümörlerdir. Pankreatik paragangliomalar ise daha nadir görülen tümörlerdir. Bu tümörler yavaş büyüme özelliğine sahiptirler ve radikal cerrahi rezeksiyon iyi prognoz için önerilen küratif tedavi yöntemidir. Bu vaka sunumunda 51 yaşında pankreatik paraganglioma tanılı cerrahi uygulanan hasta literatür eşliğinde tartışılacaktır.

Primary paraganglioma of the pancreas: Review of literature and a case report

It grows slowly, so radical resection is recommended to achive curability with good prognosis. In this report, we present a 51 year old woman patient with pancreatic paraganglioma which was completely removed by surgery and review all previously reported cases.
