ABSTRACT
Paragangliomas of the carotid body are rare tumors, usually regarded as benign. We report a case of multiple metastases from a paraganglioma which occurred in a 34-year-old man. Paraganglioma, which has originated two years previously in the right carotid body, was diagnosed. We performed neck and thoracic spine MRI, whole body bone scan, and neck and thoracic spinal angiography revealed multiple metastatic lesions in cervical lymph nodes, spines, ribs, and ilia. Metastatic lesions showed hypervascularity similar to that of a primary tumor.
