Structured PICO

P
Population
82 patients with a diagnosis of primary cardiac tumors (71 benign, 11 malign) evaluated retrospectively, of which 3 (3.66%) had histologically confirmed cardiac paragangliomas. The paraganglioma patients had a median age of 61.77 ± 14.38 years (2 male, 1 female) and presented with paroxysmal hypertension, palpitations, and dyspnea.

Cardiac paragangliomas are extremely rare tumors that can be completely resected surgically, though postoperative complications from endogenous catecholamine release carry a significant mortality risk.
