Laparoscopic Tumor Resection for Asymptomatic Paraganglioma-A Case Study

A 55-year-old man was referred for the close examination of an abdominal mass noted on abdominal ultrasonography during a physical examination. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography(CT)scan of his abdomen revealed a 36-mm heterogeneously contrast-enhanced mass on the left side of the aorta. He was referred for laparoscopic tumor resection without preoperative histological examination. The tumor was identified from the dorsal aspect of the mesentery of the transverse colon and was resected only because it was detachable from the duodenum. A temporary abnormal hypertension was observed intraoperatively. However, he exhibited a favorable postoperative course and was discharged on the 8th postoperative day. Grossly, it was a nodular tumor with a diameter of 38 mm. Histopathological examination revealed that the tumor cells having abundant cytoplasm formed large foci and were surrounded by sinusoidal vessels. Immunohistochemistry results were positive for chromogranin A, synaptophysin, and neural cell adhesion molecule; thus, paraganglioma was diagnosed. Herein, we report a case of laparoscopic resection of an asymptomatic paraganglioma.
