-==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.
