Abstract
Non-functional retroperitoneal paragangliomas are rare tumors. They are often asymptomatic and can reach very large sizes. We report the case of a 49-year old woman with retroperitoneal tumor detected during CT scan examination performed to find the cause of non-specific abdominal pain. Malignant forms, more frequent than benign forms, show locoregional invasion and are characterized by delayed-onset metastases. The treatment of these tumors is based on the most complete degree of surgical resection, since prognosis depends on it. There is no consensus on the usefulness of complementary therapies which may nevertheless constitute a supportive treatment.
