[Rare association of a non-functional retroperitoneal paraganglioma and nephrotic syndrome].
Non functional retroperitoneal paragangliomas are rare: less than 50 cases in literature. They are usually asymptomatic and can attain reasonable dimensions. The association with nephrotic syndrome is exceptional. The authors report a clinical observation of non-functional paraganglioma in a 45 year old woman, with repeated surgical abstention. Literature was reviewed and therapeutic indications discussed.
