#1707260 An exclusively dopamine secreting organ of Zuckerkandl paraganglioma

A dopamine-secreting pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGL) is a very rare subtype that predominantly or exclusively secretes dopamine but not norepinephrine or epinephrine. It has been characterized by a lack of catecholamine excess symptoms, large tumor size, extra-adrenal location, and high malignant potential. We report the case of 46 yo patients with an organ of Zuckerkandl paraganglioma presented with acute excruciating abdominal pain. He was normotensive before the event and had no symptoms of catecholamine excess.
