Retroperitoneal extraadrenal paraganglioma report of two cases.
Two cases with retroperitoneal tumours affecting young women who cannot undergo surgery were investigated by biopsy and needle sampling. One of these cases presented a mainly alveolar histologic pattern and was easily diagnosed by immunohistochemical means, as well as a chromaffin paraganglioma. We discussed different diagnoses and approaches in the literature.
