Summary: This article reports a case of multiple catecholamines-producing PGLs in the middle ear, retroperitoneum, and duodenum, and reviews the literature on duodenal PGLs. The patient's hypertension symptoms were relieved after surgical resection, and no recurrence or metastasis was found at 1 year after the operation.

Summary: This article describes the current protocol for surgical and postsurgical management of abdominal paragangliomas (PGLs) and pheochromocytomas, with a special focus on multidisciplinary management in experienced medical centers. Surgery is considered the treatment of choice for these conditions, and the choice of surgical approach depends on factors such as the location, size, and likelihood of malignancy. Postsurgical management includes close monitoring, pathological evaluation, and reassessment of hormonal and radiological status.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the prognostic importance of CT features for paragangliomas (PGLs). The results showed that tumor diameter > 8 cm and low enhancement degree could be important evidence to assess risk factors for aggressive PGLs.

Summary: Pheochromocytomas and abdominal paragangliomas (PPGLs) are rare tumors that can be discovered incidentally or during hormonal surveillance. Most cases are asymptomatic or have non-specific symptoms. PPGLs have malignant potential and require close surveillance. Genetic susceptibility is important for predicting the risk of recurrence or metastasis and identifying affected family members. Multidisciplinary management is essential for patients with PPGLs.

Summary: Catecholamine secreting tumors, a rare type of neuroendocrine tumors, can be treated through surgical resection. The case discussed a 16-year-old male patient who exhibited symptoms and tests revealed the presence of a tumor. Pre-operative patient preparation included administration of appropriate medications to control blood pressure and hydration.

Summary: This study reported a rare case of huge retro-peritoneal paraganglioma with successive catecholamine crises and acute heart failure. Surgical drawing was used for the first time to illustrate the complex anatomical adjacent relationship of retro-peritoneal paraganglioma. The case highlights the importance of considering extra-adrenal paraganglioma in the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal tumors. Catecholamine testing is preferable to invasive procedures in suspected paragangliomas to avoid triggering a catecholamine crisis.
