Complete laparoscopic excision of a giant retroperitoneal paraganglioma.
We report the case of a 26-year-old woman who underwent laparoscopic excision of an 8.2cm functioning paraganglioma. Complete resection of the tumour was achieved and the patient's symptoms resolved. Twelve months later, she remains well with no evidence of recurrence.
