Case characteristics A 10-year- old girlpresented with polyuria, polydipsia, hypertension, hyponatremia, hypokalemia andproteinuria. Ultrasonography with doppler study revealed bilateral normal renal arteries.Completed tomography of abdomen detected a left adnexal mass, which was laterconfirmed as ovarian paraganglioma on histopathology.Outcome:
