This case report describes a rare presentation of a primary pulmonary paraganglioma in a 60-year-old female.
May warrant inclusion in lung tumor differentials; extends sparse literature on primary pulmonary paragangliomas but leaves optimal management open.
A 2-cm nodular mass was detected by thoracic computed tomography in the peripheral region of the right middle lobe of the lung in a 60-year-old female with a 5-year history of cough and respiratory distress. The resected tumor was diagnosed as a primary paraganglioma on pathologic examination.
