Abstract

Paraganglioma are rare tumor derived from either parasympathetic or sympathetic paraganglia. These tumors have wide spectrum of clinical presentation, and variable anatomic distribution, however their location in the neck and skull base is common but a sporadic location is rare. We are presenting a case of 32 yr female with history of severe systemic hypertension with mid occipital soft tissue swelling. Her radio-imaging study revealed an extra-dural mass lesion with minimal bony erosion. Peroperative course was associated with catastrophic bleeding. On further workup this is found to be a case of sporadic extradural sympathetic paraganglioma, which is not reported in the existing literature.
