    Author: Knoop H, Knoop U, Heyer CM, Reichert J, Tannapfel A, Walther JW, Schultze-Werninghaus G.
    Journal: Pneumologie; 2010 Dec; 64(12):752-4. PubMed ID: 20925020.
    Abstract:
    A 73-year-old female patient was admitted to our clinic for further clarification of a suspicious mediastinal lesion. Endosonographically, we performed a fine-needle aspiration biopsy. Clinical and radiological findings as well as cytology hardened the suspicion of a paraganglioma as being the cause of the mediastinal lesion. Finally, this diagnosis was confirmed histologically after complete surgical resection of the lesion. This case report on a mediastinal paraganglioma includes a concise summary of diagnostic procedures and therapeutic options for this rare disease.
