Primary Cerebellar Paraganglioma – An Incidental Finding on Autopsy, A Case Report and Review of Literature
Abstract
Paraganglioma are extra – adrenal neuroendocrine tumors derived from neural crest. They arise from paraganglia present along the paravertebral sympathetic chain as well as from parasympathetic ganglia such as aortic body, carotid body, and vagal nerve. Primary Intracranial origin represents a rare and unusual location for such tumors. We report a rare and incidental intracerebellar paraganglioma in a 37-year-old lady as very few cases are reported in the literature and none is reported on autopsy.
