Abstract EN
Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors that are mostly found in the head and neck.
Even less common are gangliocytic variant paragangliomas of the spine for which there are only 7 other documented cases in the literature.
We report a case of gangliocytic paraganglioma of the sacral spine in a 68-year-old man.
The growth pattern is documented over three years, which to our knowledge has not previously been reported in the literature and is different from the natural history.
Clinical, radiological, and pathological characteristics of the tumor are discussed in light of available reports of this rare tumor.
