Abstract
Paraganglioma, a catecholamine-producing tumor originating in extra-adrenal paraganglion cells, is rare in children. Although diagnosis of paraganglioma is based on the presence of catecholamine symptoms, some patients lack such symptoms. Delayed diagnosis is associated with tumor growth and invasion of surrounding vessels. Herein, we report a case of pediatric retroperitoneal paraganglioma invading the inferior vena cava. The tumor was completely resected and the patient has been free of recurrence for 2 years. Our findings suggest that complete resection can help prevent recurrence in cases of invasion of the inferior vena cava.
期刊介绍：
The international effort to understand, treat and control disease involve clinicians and researchers from many medical and biological science disciplines. The Journal of Nippon Medical School (JNMS) is the official journal of the Medical Association of Nippon Medical School and is dedicated to furthering international exchange of medical science experience and opinion. It provides an international forum for researchers in the fields of bascic and clinical medicine to introduce, discuss and exchange thier novel achievements in biomedical science and a platform for the worldwide dissemination and steering of biomedical knowledge for the benefit of human health and welfare. Properly reasoned discussions disciplined by appropriate references to existing bodies of knowledge or aimed at motivating the creation of such knowledge is the aim of the journal.
