[Aorticopulmonary paraganglioma. A case report].
Paraganglioma is a tumor which develops from the paraganglion system, generally in the adrenal medulla (90%). Thoracic localisations are exceptional and arise essentially for the aortic and subaortic bodies, leading, in this case, to an anterior and posterior localisation. We report a case of non-chromaffin non-secreting aorticopulmonary paraganglioma, discovered fortuitously in a 64-year-old man.
