[Functioning extra-adrenal paragangliomas].

The diagnosis of extra-adrenal paraganglioma requires the recognition of catecholamine hypertension and the site of the lesion. I-131-MIBG scintigraphy, CAT scan and angiography may localize primitive and metastatic lesions. Six cases of extra-adrenal paraganglioma (5 abdominal, 1 thoracic) surgically treated with complete resolution of the hypertensive state are presented here.
