title: Spermatic Cord Paraganglioma With Histologically Malignant Features.
abstract: Paragangliomas occur extremely rarely in the spermatic cord. A 40-year-old man presented with a scrotal mass that was diagnosed as spermatic cord paraganglioma with malignant histological features. To our knowledge, this is the first case of spermatic cord paraganglioma presented with malignant histological features evaluated by histological scoring. Careful evaluation of histological features and systematic evaluation should be considered for patients with spermatic cord paragangliomas.
