OR

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].

 ==Overview==
-A '''paraganglioma''' is a rare [[neoplasm]] that can be found in the abdomen, thorax, and in the head and neck region.  They are usually considered [[benign]] and complete surgical removal results in cure.  However, in about 3% of cases they are [[malignant]] and have the ability to [[metastasis|metastasize]].  Paragangliomas are still sometimes called '''glomus tumors''' (not to be confused with [[glomus tumor]]s of the skin) and '''chemodectomas''', but paraganglioma is the currently accepted and preferred term.
+The majority of patients with [disease name] are asymptomatic.
-Paragangliomas arise from the [[glomus cell]]s, which are special [[chemoreceptor]]s located along blood vessels that have a role in regulating blood pressure and blood flow.  The main concentration of glomus cells are found are in the [[carotid body]], located in the upper neck at the branching of the [[carotid artery|common carotid artery]], and the [[aortic body|aortic bodies]], located near the [[aorta|aortic arch]].  The glomus cells are a part of the paraganglion system composed of the extra-adrenal [[paraganglia]] of the [[autonomic nervous system]], derived from the embryonic [[neural crest]].  Thus, paragangliomas are a type of [[neuroendocrine tumor]], and are closely related to [[pheochromocytoma]]s.  Although all paragangliomas contain neurosecretory granules, only about 1-3% have clinical evidence of oversecretion.

-==History and symptoms==
-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]].
+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].
-* '''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".

+*[History finding 1]
+*[History finding 2]
+*[History finding 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.
+===Common Symptoms===
+Common symptoms of [disease] include:
+*[Symptom 1]
+*[Symptom 2]
+*[Symptom 3]
-* '''Other sites''': Rare sites of involvement are the [[larynx]], nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, [[thyroid]] gland, and the [[thoracic inlet]], as well as the bladder in extremely rare cases.
+===Less Common Symptoms===
+Less common symptoms of [disease name] include
