title: Retroperitoneal extraadrenal paraganglioma report of two cases.
abstract: 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.
