Resection of multiple mediastinal paragangliomas with cardiopulmonary bypass.
The case of a patient who underwent simultaneous resection of two separate mediastinal paragangliomas is presented. The tumors were located in the aortopulmonary window and in the right atrioventricular groove. The patient had previously undergone resection of a glomus vagale tumor. The mediastinal lesions were removed with the aid of cardiopulmonary bypass, and the patient is doing well postoperatively.
