title: Radiologic appearance of hereditary adrenal and extraadrenal paraganglioma.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  There is a wide spectrum of established and emerging genetic mutations associated with intraadrenal and extraadrenal paragangliomas. In this review, we present the typical radiologic patterns of disease associated with six well-characterized genetic mutations and discuss other inherited and nonfamilial syndromes currently under characterization.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Contrary to previous understanding, recent genotype advances suggest that the majority of paragangliomas may be genetically predisposed.
