Malignant paraganglioma in an African patient associated with a succinate dehydrogenase subunit B (SDHB) mutation

We report a case of a malignant extra-adrenal paraganglioma with an underlying succinate dehydrogenase subunit B (SDHB) mutation in an African patient. The focus of this case is the lack of information regarding the underlying susceptibility genes in patients with paragangliomas and pheochromocytomas in Africa.
