ABSTRACT
Paragangliomas are rare tumors that arise from the extra-adrenal chromaffin cells, and malignancy is defined by the presence of metastases to sites that normally lack chromaffin tissue. The main therapeutic targets are tumor reduction and control of excessive catecholamine secretion. Currently, the adjuvant therapy to surgery is radiotherapy treatment using high-dose MIBG; chemotherapy is currently evolving. We report herein a case of malignant paraganglioma with lung and spine metastasis that occurred 16 years after primary tumor excision and was treated with high dose MIBG radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
