 ==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.
-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.

-Paragangliomas are found predominantly in the abdomen (85%) and the thorax (12%), and only 3% are found in the head and neck region.  Most occur as single tumors.  When they occur in multiple sites they are usually found as a part of a heritable syndrome such as [[multiple endocrine neoplasia]] types II-A and II-B and [[SDH]]-related mutations.
