 ==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 arise from the [[glomus cell]]s, which are special [[chemoreceptor]]s located along blood vessels that have a role in regulating blood pressure and blood flow.  The main concentration of glomus cells are found are in the [[carotid body]], located in the upper neck at the branching of the [[carotid artery|common carotid artery]], and the [[aortic body|aortic bodies]], located near the [[aorta|aortic arch]].  The glomus cells are a part of the paraganglion system composed of the extra-adrenal [[paraganglia]] of the [[autonomic nervous system]], derived from the embryonic [[neural crest]].  Thus, paragangliomas are a type of [[neuroendocrine tumor]], and are closely related to [[pheochromocytoma]]s.  Although all paragangliomas contain neurosecretory granules, only about 1-3% have clinical evidence of oversecretion.
+The feasibility of surgery depends on the stage of [malignancy] at diagnosis.

+OR
-Paraganglioma are rarely cancerous and do not tend to spread to other parts of the body. However, treatment may be needed to relieve symptoms. The main treatment is surgery. Surgery is complex and is usually done by both a neurosurgeon and a head and neck surgeon (neurotologist).
-In some cases, a procedure called embolization is performed before surgery to prevent the tumor from bleeding too much during surgery.
+Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for [disease or malignancy].
-After surgery, radiation therapy may be used to treat any part of the tumor that could not be removed completely.
+==Indications==
-Some glomus tumors can be treated with stereotactic radiosurgery.
