  • Title: Multiple paragangliomata of the lungs and temporal bone.
    Author: Sattar HA, Yang DL, Husain AN, Redleaf MI, Dayal VS.
    Journal: Ear Nose Throat J; 2008 Nov; 87(11):E4-6. PubMed ID: 19006054.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 71-year-old woman with multiple benign lung paragangliomata and a benign glomus jugulare paraganglioma in one temporal bone that mimicked a malignancy. The patient's lung lesions did not regress with chemotherapy. Subsequent histologic markers suggested several very slowly dividing tumors. We review the patient's medical course and pathology from both sites. A finding of multiple lung paragangliomata should raise the suspicion of a multicentric rather than malignant tumor. Before any chemotherapeutic regimen is initiated, a thorough physical examination of the head and neck should be performed, and biopsy material should be tested for markers of cell division.
