    Author: Pandey M, Chandramohan K, Sebastian P, Ramachandran K.
    Journal: Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2002 Jun; 31(3):334-6. PubMed ID: 12190144.
    Abstract:
    Paragangliomas are neoplasms originating from paraganglion tissue derived from mesoderm, the most common location being adjacent to carotid bifurcation. Rarely these tumours can be bilateral. We present here a case of bilateral paraganglioma occurring in a young woman. On one side the tumour was arising from the vagus nerve and on the other, from the carotid body. Clinical, radiological and histopathological features and treatment dilemmas are discussed.
