ABSTRACT
Arterial hypertension caused by a paraganglioma is rare and approximately one third of all cases of paraganglioma occur as part of a hereditary syndrome. Among these the Carney-Stratakis syndrome is characterized by the occurrence of paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumors caused by germline mutations of the succinate dehydrogenase subunit genes (B-D). We report the case of a 47-year-old female patient suffering from Carney-Stratakis syndrome with an endocrine active thoracic paraganglioma which was successfully resected with the assistance of a heart-lung machine and the gastric stromal tumors were removed in a second surgical intervention.
