[Cheek paraganglioma: a rare location]. / Paragangliome jugal: une localisation rare.

OBSERVATION: A 29 year-old-woman presented with a massive painless slow-growing tumor of the right cheek, with a benign aspect on clinical examination. The CT scan with injection, showed a solid-cystic mass, well defined, and partially enhanced. The mass was easily removed with a complete endobuccal excision. The histological examination and immunohistochemical study revealed a paraganglioma. There was no postoperative complication. No recurrence was noted after six months of follow-up. DISCUSSION: The paraganglioma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor and its location in the cheek has never been reported.
