Head and neck paragangliomas in Norway, importance of genetics, updated diagnostic workup and treatment.

CONCLUSIONS AND SIGNIFICANCE: This is the first study with systematic genetic workup and PET/CT imaging in Scandinavia of HNPG patients. The mutation rate was within the lower range reported in the literature with respect to HNPGs. Combining genetic testing and PET/CT imaging in the diagnostic workup of HNPGs is valuable.
