Paragangliomas are described by their site of origin and are often given special names:
 
* '''Carotid paraganglioma''' ([[carotid body]] tumor): Is the most common of the head and neck paragangliomas.  It usually presents as a painless neck mass, but larger tumors may cause cranial nerve palsies, usually of the [[vagus nerve]] and [[hypoglossal nerve]]. 


* '''Glomus tympanicum''' and '''Glomus jugulare''': Both commonly present as a middle ear mass resulting in [[tinnitus]] (in 80%) and hearing loss (in 60%). The cranial nerves of the [[jugular foramen]] may be compressed, resulting swallowing difficulty. These patients present with a reddish bulge behind an intact ear drum.  This condition is also known as the "Red drum". On application of pressure to the external ear canal with the help of a pneumatic ear speculum the mass could be seen to blanch.  This sign is known as "Brown's sign".
The hallmark of [disease name] is [finding]. A positive history of [finding 1] and [finding 2] is suggestive of [disease name]. The most common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]. Common symptoms of [disease] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]. Less common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3].


* '''Vagal paragangliomas''': These are the least common of the head and neck paragangliomas. They usually present as a painless neck mass, but may result in [[dysphagia]] and hoarseness.
