Paraganglioma is a rare benign
neuroendocrine tumor arising from the paraganglia of the
autonomic nervous system.
Paraganglioma occurs mainly in the
carotid body,
jugular foramen, and
vagus nerve in the
head and
neck region. Herein, we
report a case of
paraganglioma of the submandibular region that has not been reported. This case highlights
paraganglioma as a rare
differential diagnosis for submandibular region
tumors.
