title: [Paraganglioma of spermatic cord].
abstract: Paragangliomas can exist anywhere in the distribution of neural crest derived cells. In the spermatic cord, they are exceedingly rare. We report a case of histologically discovery, occurring in a man of 50 years who had a para-testicular mass, painless, firm without other signs associated. In view of this observation and a review of the literature, we propose to establish the epidemiological profile and study the prognostic and the clinicopathologic features of this tumor.
