==Overview==
==Overview==
A '''paraganglioma''' is a rare [[neoplasm]] that can be found in the abdomen, thorax, and in the head and neck region.  They are usually considered [[benign]] and complete surgical removal results in cure.  However, in about 3% of cases they are [[malignant]] and have the ability to [[metastasis|metastasize]].  Paragangliomas are still sometimes called '''glomus tumors''' (not to be confused with [[glomus tumor]]s of the skin) and '''chemodectomas''', but paraganglioma is the currently accepted and preferred term.


Paragangliomas are found predominantly in the abdomen (85%) and the thorax (12%), and only 3% are found in the head and neck region.  Most occur as single tumors.  When they occur in multiple sites they are usually found as a part of a heritable syndrome such as [[multiple endocrine neoplasia]] types II-A and II-B and [[SDH]]-related mutations.
