Abstract
Retroperitoneal paraganglioma is located primarily at the para-aortic area and functioning tumor, however, non-func-tioning and retrocaval located tumors are rare. Laparoscopic retrocaval paraganglioma resection is technically challenging due to vena cava close relation. A 49-year-old male was re-ferred for a retroperitoneal tumor, detected by FDG-PET scan. He had undergone right thyroidectomy for papillary carcinoma one year ago. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan showed a mass measuring 2 cm in size located behind the inferior vena cava (IVC), which deviate IVC anteriorly. I123-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scan also demonstrated abnormal focal activity. Result of preoperative adrenal function test was normal. A laparoscopic retrocaval tumor excision was performed successfully. The operative time was 160 minutes. The patient¡¯s postoperative recovery was uneventful and he was discharged on the fourth postoperative day. Pathologic examination was consistent with the diagnosis of paragan-glioma. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on laparoscopic resection of a retrocaval non-functioning paraganglioma. In conclusion, laparoscopic retrocaval para-ganglioma resection is safe and feasible.
